  Cervical cancer screening has been introduced in Botswana free of charge to all at risk women attending government hospitals in 2003.Despite this step by the govemment, the uptake of cervical cancer has remained low among women in Botswana.The objectives of the study were to identify and describe factors influencing cervical cancer screening uptake among women attending Mahalapye District Hospital, Botswana, using the Health Belief Model.The study was a cross sectional study in which 300 participants were conveniently selected and interviewed to assess their perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, and perceived barriers of doing cervical cancer screening using a 5 point Likert type scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree.
