The cervical cancer screening rate in Chile stood at 46% in 2023. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline in the percentage of women aged 20-69 being screened, decreasing from 46% in 2024 to 43.2% in 2028. The year-on-year variations show a consistent reduction of approximately 1.5% annually over the period.
Over the last two years, the screening rate dropped from 46% to 45.3% (2024-2025) and then from 45.3% to 44.6% (2025-2026). The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) depicts an average yearly decline of around 1.5% from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in screening technologies, government health policies targeting increased awareness and accessibility, and potential changes in national healthcare priorities that could impact screening rates. Additionally, the influence of public health campaigns and educational programs on women's health behavior will be critical in reversing or mitigating the declining trend in cervical cancer screening.
