This adjustment particularly impacts early detection initiatives for breast and cervical cancers, showcasing a deliberate effort to enhance public health outcomes. In breast cancer screening, the age range expanded, allowing women aged 45-74 biennial access to complimentary mammography, contrasting the previous 50-69 years with a two-year screening interval.
