#sjekkdeg

The goal of the #sjekkdeg (get checked) campaign is to get more women to go to their General Practitioner (Fastlege)  and take a smear test (cervical screening)

#sjekkdeg is the name of the campaign that aims to motivate women to take a the smear test to avoid cervical cancer. The campaign was started by Thea Steen in 2015, she died of the disease in 2016.

  • Has never taken the test
