A pap smear is a test that helps to detect changes in the cells of the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina. Pap smears are an important part of preventative health care for women, as they can help to detect changes that may lead to cervical cancer. In Namibia, the cost of a pap smear can vary depending on the clinic or hospital where you have the procedure done. However, most clinics will charge between N$50 and N$100 for the procedure.

While the cost of a pap smear may seem like a lot, it is important to remember that this is a preventative procedure that might save your life. Cervical cancer is one of the leading causes of death for women in Namibia, and early detection is key to treatment and survival. If you cannot afford the cost of a pap smear, there are several government and NGO clinics that offer the procedure for free or at a reduced cost. No matter what your financial situation is, it is important to get a pap smear regularly to protect your health.
