Barriers to Cervical Cancer Prevention • Individual Factors Provider and Facilities Factors • Low HPV awareness • Poor understanding of HPV/Cancer link • Cultural issues • Poor screening uptake • Compromised follow-up Systemic Factors • Training and education • Resource and facilities • Advance therapeutics(chemo/rad) • Palliation • Access to healthcare • Un-insurance • Surveillance and tracking systems • Immigration status
