Cervical cancer is the second highest type of cancer after breast cancer that causes death in women. One of the factors causing the high incidence of cervical cancer in women is the low coverage of early detection of cervical cancer due to a lack of information in the community. This community service activity aimed to provide education about cervical cancer and VIA examinations (Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid). The method used in this health education was the lecture and question-and-answer method supported by leaflets and pictures.
