Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The study will provide the burden of unhealthy cervix, with or without cervical dysplasia, along with pattern of HPV type in the region that will pave the way for tailor made policy for cervical cancer screening, HPV vaccination, management of cases.  36 months 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
a)
The study will provide estimate of unhealthy cervix conditions on female patients which will facilitate the identification of risk factors & the implementation of effective screening strategies, thereby enhancing early detection & treatment options within the healthcare system. 
30 months 
b)
The findings related to the distribution & characterization of various high-risk HPV genotypes, including among the targeted demographic group. 
36 months 
c)
Different local geographical area-based HPV prevalence identification in add-on to major high
-risk genotyping may aid identification of hot-spot areas of HPV infection/prevalence. 
36 months 
d)
The result will establish a specific pattern of HPV types prevalent in the region, which will facilitate the development of customized policies for cervical cancer screening & HPV vaccination initiatives. 
36 months

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the HPV genotype landscape in this demographic region, which is crucial for informing public health initiatives and clinical practices. By analyzing the data gathered from this study, the future plan will focus on implementing targeted interventions and educational programs aimed at reducing the incidence of HPV-related cervical diseases. In this study, in addition to the tertiary care hospital, the samples will also be collected from different district of Kumaon region. The insights gained regarding the prevalence and genotype distribution will guide healthcare providers in developing tailored screening and vaccination strategies, ultimately contributing to improved health outcomes for women in the region.

Ultimately, the insights gained from this study could play a pivotal role in shaping health policies and educational programs aimed at improving cervical health outcomes for women in Uttarakhand and beyond.
