This is the fourth report to monitor the National Cervical Screening Program since it introduced 5-yearly HPV tests in December 2017. In 2018–2021, more than 4.2 million people aged 25–74 participated, and in 2021, 11% of screening HPV tests performed were positive for HPV types that cause cervical cancer. Cervical cancer incidence and mortality remained low at 11 new cases and 2 deaths per 100,000 women, respectively.
