Aquarter of young women don’t attend their smear tests – and that’s costing lives. There is a real fear the procedure is painful and embarrassing, but that isn’t the case. As the video shows, it’s over in a couple of minutes, and, while it may be mildly uncomfortable, this is a small price to pay to save a life. So please, book your appointment today – and stay safe.
