Common Questions About Women's Health

Current South African guidelines recommend cervical health screening starting at age 30, with intervals depending on your HIV status and individual risk factors. Your GP will recommend the right schedule for you based on your personal circumstances and risk profile.
A standard women's health consultation is approximately 30 minutes — enough time for a thorough discussion of your concerns, a clinical assessment, and a clear plan. Longer slots are available on request for complex consultations.
