Perceived factors for delayed consultation of cervical cancer among women at a selected hospital in Rwanda: An Exploratory qualitative study

ConclusionThe findings of our study show that patient-related factors and health care system factors were perceived by the women and heath care providers as the contributing factors to the delay of consultation for cervical cancer. These findings should be taken into account during the planning, training of health care providers, measuring quality, and empowering both providers and communities while conducting studies about cervical cancer. The results generated in this research may contribute to the advancement of the cancer diagnosing process in Rwanda.
