Abstract
Cervical cancer screening is considered one of the most significant public health interventions that can reduce not only the incidence, but also the mortality of the disease. One of the most important factors for screening effectiveness is coverage defined as the number of women tested within a recommended interval. In the first years of the cervical screening, the participation rate in National Screening Program in Romania was 14.2% with slight difference in different region of the country. In the northeastern part of the country, in the first four years of the program, the rate was 16.9% with an alarmingly continuous decrease. Thus, increasing the rate of uptake of cervical screening is essential. The policy-makers should take new measures to increase women's participation in this screening program. The objective of this paper was to review situation of the screening program and to identify gaps and needs in the system and to bring or suggest solution.
