Abstract: 
The National Cervical Screening Policy is a key part of the cervical screening pathway and states that routine Pap smears should be carried out every two years for women who have no history of abnormal pathology or no current symptoms. All women who have even been sexually active should start having Pap smears between the ages of 18 to 20 years, or one or two years after first sexual activity, whichever is later.
