Introduction Cervical cancer screening is a medical test used to identify changes in the cells of the cervix before they develop into cancer. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Most cases of cervical cancer are associated with persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV). Regular screening helps detect HPV infections or abnormal cervical cells early, allowing timely treatment and reducing the risk of cervical cancer.

Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that mainly affects the joints. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, causing inflammation in the lining of the joints. Over time, persistent inflammation can damage cartilage, bones, and surrounding tissues. Rheumatoid arthritis commonly affects the hands, wrists, feet, knees, and other joints. Unlike osteoarthritis, which is mainly caused by wear and tear, rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition and can affect other organs as well.

Introduction Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), also known as Chronic Renal Disease, is a progressive condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood. The disease develops slowly over time and often goes unnoticed in its early stages because symptoms may not appear until significant kidney damage has occurred. Diabetes and high blood pressure are the leading causes of CKD worldwide. Early diagnosis, regular monitoring, and appropriate treatment can help slow the progression of the disease, prevent complications, and improve overall quality of life.
