Went to a doctor in overseas today for the first time after becoming a resident. The very first thing they asked me was whether I’d done a Pap smear test (it’s done to check for early signs that could lead to cervical cancer. It’s one of the most important preventive health tests for women.
).I said no, and they immediately gave me a free self-test kit 🥲

I was honestly shocked , not just because it was free, but because of how seriously women’s health is taken here and how easy they make it for women to access these tests.

Growing up in India, I didn’t even know something like this existed. My mother has never taken this which I’ll ask her now. Girls if you have never taken the Smear Test, do it.
