Particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, where Uganda has one of the highest incidence rates worldwide, cervicalcancer is a serious public health problem. Utilisation is still low despite national programmes that support freeHPV vaccinations and screenings. This research looks at what influences women who visit Jinja Regional ReferralHospital in Eastern Uganda to be screened for cervical cancer. The study emphasises the significant global burdenof cervical cancer, with a focus on low-resource nations. The startling data and low screening acceptance inUganda are shown. Recognised are the screening programmes established by the Ugandan Ministry of Health andthe important problem of underutilization. The purpose of this study is to determine the causes of the lowscreening rates among female patients at Jinja Regional Referral Hospital. Interventions may be created toincrease uptake and eventually reduce cervical cancer fatalities in Uganda by taking these aspects intoconsideration
