Abstract
Cervical cancer has always been a major concern of Portuguese gynaecologists. Since 1978, when family planning clinics were first set up, diagnostic examinations have been carried out upon sexually active women (women beginning their sexual activity are entitled to an annual smear), by gynaecologists trained at the Medical Faculty of Coimbra University, or other Medical Schools. At first, this was an unorganised programme, although there have been several pilot schemes to assess different screening methods in small localised areas, mostly in the centre of Portugal.
