Key Points

  • Cervical cancer screening uptake in Botswana’s Indigenous communities remains low.

  • Our research explored culturally appropriate ways to improve cervical cancer screening uptake in western Botswana.

  • Community leaders and healthcare workers were consulted to develop collaborative, inclusive screening. Locally trained female community healthcare assistants were engaged to support participant recruitment and healthcare talks in the community.

  • Adopting culturally accepting and gender-choice-flexible services that overcome intimacy reticence may improve cervical cancer screening uptake in Indigenous and marginalized communities.
