Women are encouraged to visit this clinic at least once a year for a comprehensive physical examination and a full consultation with a medical specialist/gynaecologist. 

The tests to be conducted include Haemogram, Urinalysis, Pap Smear and Random blood sugar test.

The Pap Smear Test:- Cancer of the cervix is the most common gynecological cancer in women in Kenya today and leads to death of many women. By the time a woman notices changes that alert her to the problem, the cancer in most cases is already advanced. However, the onset can be detected by a simple test - the Pap Smear, and can be treated inexpensively before it becomes advanced.

The Pap Smear Test takes only a few minutes and the results are released within 24 hours. The Pap Smear Test would reveal uterine or cervical cancer at an early stage, when no visible symptoms or other damage is apparent. At this stage the cancer is completely and simply curable.

Breast Clinic:- Early detection is your breast protection.  Breast health is one area in your life where you can take control.   You can take control by talking to your friends, family and your doctor about your breast health.  Everyone should learn and practice Breast Self Examination starting from puberty and continue throughout life. 

A good place to start would be with your own doctor who can give you the required information.  At Mater Hospital we offer breast screening by doctors and nurses especially trained to teach breast health.
