Abstract

Cervical cancer is ranked 7th as the leading cause of death in Indonesia with a percentage of 7.5 of all causes of death. Nine out of ten, or about 87% of cervical cancer deaths occur in countries that are less developed. Up to 2014, early detection of cervical and breast cancer program organized by the government has been running at 1,986 health centers in 304 districts / cities located in 34 provinces in Indonesia. However, the coverage from 2007 to 2014 is still low, which is only 2.45% by means the screening is conducted for only 904.099 women. Therefore the aim of this community service is to seek the community empowerment in the early detection of cervical cancer among women of childbearing age. The activities begin with a survey within the location named Rusunawa Seruwai and Kayu Putih, Medan. Then proceed with coordination with the two partners. The activity is in the form of training for local cadres and 20 women who were then received IVA inspection. In addition to understand the success of the training we conducted pretest and posttest on the material given as well.Results showed that there is an increasing knowledge of cadres and mothers about the implementation and benefits of IVA test. Of all mothers who are examined, 5 with IVA test positive, 7 withleucorrhea. We expectedthe socialization of IVA test can be sustain with the support of partners and local cadres in order to reduce the incidence of cervical cancer.
