Can someone tell me the appropriate place to go to for pap-smear test? In the hospital/clinic or laboratory? I mean, do I have to book an appointment with my Gynaecologist or can it be done in one of the private laboratories we have around? Thanks.

Go to LUTH, they have a pathologist there

A simlpe test as pap smear, everyone has to run to LUTH in Nigeria?

In 2008!

Giant of Africa!

that's if the so called pathologist can differentiate the purple dots on the slide from the sea of pink.
Our health care system is a sham.

They make ogi (pap) and smear it on the woman's jerusalem, if she's pregnant the pap will turn blue!

Na wah o, when I'd thought I could stop at my family clinic on one Saturday and get it done! The problem with that LUTH is that one has to go and queue to register, get a card and , what am I even saying? You must go with a referral or you go and lobby one doctor there to give you a feferral! At LUTH you cannot just walk in and receive treatment, you must have been referred by one doctor from somewhere. That's the 'protocol', being a teaching hospital .

Another problem with LUTH is you have to book an appointment, don't expect to walk in and get it over with, just like that. Well, the purpose is worth whatever trouble one goes through anyway, but I wish one wouldn't go through the needle eye to get such important examinations done .

@Dot2002, I hope they do it in LASUTH, that's nearer. Thanks for the info.

Pap smear test is made easy at Nigerian Air Force Base Hospital Diagnostic Laboratories, air force Base, Ikeja. Just along Air port road.

@Nwando, hmn, thats good news. So what's the protocol there, first register as a patient or just walk into the lab and do the test and walk away? Do you have an idea of the cost (so I know how much to go with)? I wouldn't mind getting it done tomorrow if its as easy as u mentioned.But did you mean  Airport bus stop along Agege Motor Road, or Airport Road/Ajao Estate areaThanks a bunch.
