This is the second report to monitor the National Cervical Screening Program since it introduced 5-yearly HPV tests in 2017. In 2018–2019, more than 3.1 million people aged 25–74 participated, and in 2019, 9% of all screening HPV tests performed were positive for HPV types that cause cervical cancer. Cervical cancer incidence and mortality remained low at 11 new cases per 100,000 females and 2 deaths per 100,000 females, respectively.
