Aim: analyzing and assessing the scientific evidences about Health Services Administration through the practice of cervical cancer prevention programs and policies. Methodology: integrative literature review carried out in September/October 2017. Electronic search for publications in databases such as PubMed, Portal Periódicos CAPES, BVS, EBSCO and SciELO. Results and Discussion: eighteen articles approaching the topic were selected and their analyses resulted in the following thematic axes: Organization of cervical cancer prevention and control policies/programs, Follow-up and monitoring of actions taken and Quality Management of Cytopathological exams for diagnostic and treatment. There were differences between programs in the country, either in their recommendations or in their effectiveness. Final considerations: investments must be done in order to qualify technical procedures and involved health professionals, as well as to support health education in the target population.
