2scents- I was referring to certain tests and screenings routinely performed for healthy women, not health care in general. I have read articles (sorry don’t remember the sources) that certain religious neighborhoods in Israel lag behind other neighborhoods in performing such tests. It may be a tznius issue, but it may also be that their insulation and non-exposure to “regular” media means that they are not as educated on the latest health recommendations, or a combination of both, since such issues are not considered appropriate to be discussed in magazines/newspapers that the community does read.
