About the episode

Cervical cancer is preventable, but only if you catch it early. Cultural and personal barriers have often meant that women avoid cervical cancer testing. But now with the help of a world-leading test, Australia is aiming to eliminate cervical cancer by 2035. The test is a safe and culturally sensitive option for women from all backgrounds. Best of all it could save your life—or that of someone close to you.
