The method used in this activity is counseling. The result of this activity is an increase in knowledge related to cervical cancer. There needs to be cervical education for cadres or motherson an ongoing basis by health workers.This incidence of cervical cancer is 90% in developing countries. Indonesia is a developing country with the sixth highest number of cervical cancer suffers in Asia and an estimated incidenceof this disea is around 17 per 100,000 population .
