Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The study will provide the burden of unhealthy cervix, with or without cervical dysplasia, along with pattern of HPV type in the region that will pave the way for tailor made policy for cervical cancer screening, HPV vaccination, management of cases.Timepoint: 36 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
a) The study will provide estimate of unhealthy cervix conditions on female patients which will facilitate the identification of risk factors & the implementation of effective screening strategies, thereby enhancing early detection & treatment options within the healthcare system.Timepoint: 30 months;b) The findings related to the distribution & characterization of various high-risk HPV genotypes, including among the targeted demographic group.Timepoint: 36 months;c) Different local geographical area-based HPV prevalence identification in add-on to major high -risk genotyping may aid identification of hot-spot areas of HPV infection/prevalence.Timepoint: 36 months;d) The result will establish a specific pattern of HPV types prevalent in the region, which will facilitate the development of customized policies for cervical cancer screening & HPV vaccination initiatives.Timepoint: 36 months
