Surgical strategies c - Health education interventions to promote early presentation and referral for women with symptoms of endometrial cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Mar-2020
Diagnosis of endometrial (womb) cancer is normally made at an early stage, as most women with the disease experience abnormal vaginal bleeding, which prompts them to seek medical advice. However, delays in presentation and referral can result in delay in - Health system and community level interventions for improving antenatal care coverage and health outcomes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Dec-2015
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends at least four antenatal care (ANC) visits for all pregnant women.
