About 96,922 new cervical cancer cases are diagnosed annually in India. Objective: To summarize the knowledge, attitude, and practice toward screening of cervical cancer among health professionals in India. Materials and methods: Health sciences electronic databases PubMed and Google Scholar were searched for studies published between 2012 and March 2020. Keywords used for the search were (“CERVICAL CANCER”), (“SCREENING”), (“KNOWLEDGE”), (“ATTITUDE”), (“PRACTICE”), (“HEALTH PROFESSIONALS”), AND (“INDIA”). A total of 22 articles were included in the review based on the eligibility criteria. Statistical software SPSS-V.23 was used for the statistical application. Results: A total of 22 studies met the inclusion criteria with total of 6811 health professionals. The age of the study participants ranged from 18 to 60 years. The overall knowledge of cervical cancer among health professionals was 75.15%. The knowledge toward signs and symptoms and risk factors was adequate among health professionals. The knowledge, attitude, and practice toward screening was 86.20%, 85.47%, and 12.70%, respectively. Conclusion: The health professionals have optimum level of knowledge of cervical cancer and knowledge of screening of cervical cancer with appropriate attitude toward screening with low uptake of practice toward screening.
