SUMMARY SUMMARY SUMMARY

v Visual tests have similar sensitivity as that of good quality cytology, but lower specificity.

v Visual screening is feasible in low resource settings, but require adequate inputs in training of test providers, close monitoring of test positivity, CIN detection and treatment rates on a continuing basis.
