Cervical Screening (Pap Smear)
Overview
A simple, quick, and largely painless test to detect early cervical changes. Our partner hospitals deliver cervical screening (pap smear) using internationally recognised protocols, latest-generation equipment, and surgeons with extensive experience — many internationally trained. Gynaecological surgery waits in Australia public system: 90–270 days. Self-funded laparoscopic procedures average AUD 6,500–12,000. Through Earth Abroad's partner network in India, the same cervical screening (pap smear) is available from $50 — at a fraction of Australian self-funded cost — in JCI-accredited facilities with care quality matching or exceeding Australian standards.
