Background Cervical cancer screening is one of the most important public health interventions for cervical cancer prevention, yet awareness among Pakistani medical students and doctors is alarmingly low. Objective: to provide an in-depth understanding of the awareness and attitudes of Pakistani medical students and doctors towards cervical cancer screening Methodology: A systematic review of the literature was conducted, and qualitative and quantitative findings from studies conducted between January 2010 and June 2022 were synthesized. Results: The research found that Pakistani medical students and doctors have limited knowledge of cervical cancer and cervical cancer screening and a generally negative attitude towards cervical cancer screening. The paper also identified numerous influencing factors that contribute to the low awareness and attitudes towards the screening, such as traditional cultural beliefs, lack of training and education, and limited access to health care services. Conclusion, the research found a desperate need for interventions to raise awareness and to create an environment of acceptance and support for cervical cancer screening among Pakistani medical students and doctors.

Background: The health of pregnant women and their newborns is critical. Prenatal care and breastfeeding are fundamental components of optimal maternal and child health. Despite the well-recognized importance of these practices, the worldwide prevalence of suboptimal antenatal care and breastfeeding remains high. The lack of awareness and knowledge among pregnant women regarding these practices is a leading cause. This study aimed to explore the attitudes, knowledge, and practices of pregnant women regarding antenatal care and breastfeeding. Objective: to identify critical areas for intervention and highlight gaps in knowledge to offer a foundation for future research and awareness-raising. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Lahore from 1st of January, 2022 to 1st of March, 2022. The data was collected of pregnant women from Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital, Lahore, For this cross Sectional survey 400 pregnant women, ranging from <20 to 40 years or above were approached. Results: The majority of the respondents had education up to secondary level, and half had their previous baby delivered at home. The findings revealed that the majority of pregnant women had visited less than four times for prenatal checkups during the current pregnancy and expressed a willingness to come for proper prenatal checkups in their next pregnancy. Practical Implication: In order to achieve the best possible outcomes for both the mother and the baby, it is imperative to have educational programs aimed at enhancing the knowledge around prenatal care and breastfeeding practices amongst expectant mothers. Conclusion: Respondents were aware of the benefits of breastfeeding, but their knowledge of optimal breastfeeding practices, including colostrum feeding, was insufficient. Addressing these gaps in knowledge and practice is essential through community awareness programs, health care provider training, and support mechanisms for new mothers. Ultimately, improving maternal and child health will enhance the welfare of families and the community as a whole. Keywords: Pregnant, Knowledge and Perception, Prenatal Care, Breastfeeding
