Cervical cancer in Serbia is one of the leading causes of illness and death in the female population. Every year, about 1,300 women fall ill and approximately 500 lose their lives due to this disease. The importance of screening for this disease is very high, but unfortunately insufficiently known in the population. We conducted a short survey on 30 women aged 20 to 40 who filled out a pre-prepared cervical cancer screening questionnaire. The results indicate that the health awareness of the female population regarding cervical cancer screening in Serbia is very low, but there is also a clear insight into the importance of geting new informations, and we believe that this study contributes to raising awareness about cervical cancer screening, which is in line with the general trend population policy in the world, given that January 2023 was declared the month dedicated to the prevention of cervical cancer with the theme: Ending cervical cancer within a few generations”.
