Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the satisfaction of women who benefited from cervical cancer screening in Yaoundé and Brazzaville.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from February to December 2020 in Brazzaville and Yaoundé. The study population consisted of women receiving cervical cancer screening at the screening units in Yaoundé and Brazzaville.
Results: A total of 300 women were interviewed, 150 of them in Brazzaville. The mean age of the participants was 44±7.25 years. More than half (65.33%) of the respondents were not satisfied with the waiting time at the cervical cancer screening units in Brazzaville. In contrast, in Yaoundé only 4.67% of participants were not satisfied. The health care personnel were considered friendly by 99% of the respondents in Yaoundé and by 87.33% of those in Brazzaville. More than half were very satisfied with the respect of their privacy by the health care staff (66% in Yaoundé and 68% in Brazzaville). In Yaoundé the participants were all in favour of recommending screening to their relatives, compared to 98% in Brazzaville.
Conclusion: Most respondents were not satisfied with the organizational aspect of screening. Corrective measures are needed.
