Did you know...
About 50 Manitoba women are diagnosed with cervical cancer every year.
Most women who are diagnosed with cervical cancer have never had a Pap test or haven't had one in over 5 years.
The best thing you can do to reduce your risk of cervical cancer is to have a Pap test regularly!
A Pap test is a simple test where a sample of cells is taken from your cervix by your doctor or health provider and sent to a laboratory for examination.
Most women need a Pap test once a year for three years. If those results are okay, then you need a Pap test only once every two years.
You can request a copy of your Pap test results, call us at (204) 788-8626 or 1-866-616-8805.

The goal of the Manitoba Cervical Cancer Screening Program is to reduce deaths from cervical cancer.
