Is it time for your screening?

Twelve women from Icelandic society share their story at the photography exhibition “Is it time for your screening?” and accordingly encourage other women to participate in screening when they receive an invitation. A special label has been designed that reminds women of the importance of taking part in cervical screening.

Information about cervical screenings in Icelandic, English og Polish can be found on the Samhæfingarstöðvar krabbameinsskimana (Cancer Screening Coordination Centre) website.
