Around 55% of women in the target age group of 20–69 took part in the National Cervical Screening Program in 2015 and 2016, with more than 3.8 million women screening.

Cervical cancer incidence and mortality have both decreased since the National Cervical Screening Program began in 1991—incidence decreased from 17 to 10 new cases per 100,000 women aged 20–69 in 2014 and mortality decreased from 4 to 2 deaths per 100,000 women aged 20–69 in 2015.
