Marie Stopes: Your Compassionate Partner in Women’s Health in South Africa

At Marie Stopes, we are dedicated to providing compassionate and expert care for women's health in South Africa. We understand the unique challenges women face and are here to support you every step of the way. From reproductive health to menstrual issues and sexual health, our mission is to empower women with the information and services they need to make informed decisions about their bodies.

Access to Gynecological Services

Navigating women’s health can be daunting, but our gynecologists are here to provide the care and support you need. Whether you are accessing care through public healthcare with a GP referral or choosing the convenience of private clinics, our goal is to ensure you receive specialized, compassionate care tailored to your needs.

Empowering Women with Contraception Choices

Access to contraception is vital for every woman's reproductive health. In South Africa, we are committed to providing a range of contraceptive options, ensuring you have the information and access you need to choose what’s best for you. Whether it's over-the-counter emergency contraception or prescription-based methods like oral contraceptives, implants, IUDs, and patches, we are here to guide and support you.

Prioritizing Early Cancer Detection

Early detection saves lives. Marie Stopes, alongside other organizations, is dedicated to providing essential cancer screenings. Cervical and breast cancer are significant concerns for South African women, and we are committed to offering screenings and education to help detect and treat these cancers early.

  • Cervical Cancer: We support government initiatives offering HPV vaccines to teenage girls and recommend regular pap smears.
  • Breast Cancer: We advocate for regular screenings and support campaigns like the Pink Ribbon campaign to raise awareness and provide free mammograms.

Comprehensive Sexual Health Services

Your sexual health matters. Marie Stopes offers comprehensive Woman Wellness screenings in a private, comfortable setting, with services claimable through medical aid. Our affordable packages include:

  • Option 1: Full STI screening (Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and HIV blood tests) plus a pap smear
  • Option 2: Breast exam, pap smear, and contraceptive consultation
  • Option 3: Full STI screening with a rapid HIV test

Supporting Young Women through Teenage Pregnancies

Teenage pregnancies can be overwhelming, but you are not alone. Marie Stopes offers crucial support and education to help young women navigate these challenges and make informed decisions for a healthier future.
