If routine Pap tests are becoming a thing of the past, why is Ontario lagging behind?

from This Matters · host Toronto Star

Guest: Olivia Bowden, staff reporter There has been global momentum to end Pap tests for cervical cancer and replace them with less intrusive and more effective HPV testing. As countries around the world and even some provinces in Canada start this transition in reproductive health care, medical professionals say Ontario is lagging far behind. The stakes go well beyond comfort. Star reporter Olivia Bowden explains why Ontario has delayed making the change and what it says about how we talk about the safety and pain of those with female reproductive organs.
