January 19, 2022BEIJING, Jan. 18 (Xinhua) — China's National Health Commission on Tuesday issued work plans to extend women's access to screening services for cervical and breast cancers.
The scope of such services will be expanded to include women aged from 35 to 64 in both urban and rural areas, and will prioritize those living in rural areas or those from urban families living on subsistence allowances, according to the plans. The services used to be only available to women in rural areas.
