1. BackgroundCervical cancer is the fourth leading type of cancer in women worldwide (Joshi and Sankaranarayana, 2015, World Health Organization, 2015). According to Bigoni et al.(2015) cervical cancer is a major public health problem with new diagnosed cases at 530,232, and 275,008 deaths annually. It is estimated that around 270,000 women died from cervical cancer in 2012; more than 85% of these deaths occurring in low-and middle-income countries which includes Botswana (McFarland, 2009). According to McFarland (2009) cervical cancer is the most common cancer leading to mortality and mobility among women in Botswana. Ministry of Health in Botswana (2009) noted that cervical cancer incidents continue to rise each year. World Health Organization (WHO) as cited by Ramogola-Masire (2014)“predicted that morbidity and mortality due to cervical cancer will increase by more than 20 per cent by 2025 in women under the age of 65, if no change occurs in the current trends (p. 81)”. It is therefore crucial for developing countries like Botswana to take action just like the developed countries. The United Nations (2018) places Botswana as a developing country. A developing country is a low or a middle income country. Furthermore, Lim and Ojo (2017) noted that all countries in the sub Saharan African region of which Botswana is part are classified as developing countries.
