Life has a way of filling every space in the calendar. Work, family and everyday responsibilities often come first. #Pads4Paps is a gentle reminder that your health deserves time too.
Choose your health. Help another woman do the same.
The campaign contribution is R350.00 per person and is paid securely online at the end of the booking process. Because campaign appointments are limited, the time you choose is confirmed only once payment has been completed.
Not ready to pay today? You’re welcome to return when the time is right. Available appointments may change in the meantime.
#Pads4Paps is a women-led social-health initiative founded by Dr Colette Adams-Julius and 4FR Health. It connects women’s healthcare, cervical-health awareness and menstrual dignity—encouraging women to prioritise their own health while helping another woman or girl manage menstruation with dignity.
This page is your current campaign journey: what the appointment offers, what to expect and how to book. The permanent #Pads4Paps home tells the fuller story of how the initiative began, its historic impact and the different ways people can support it.
Women often postpone their own healthcare while caring for everything and everyone around them. #Pads4Paps creates a welcoming opportunity to pause, ask questions and focus on the health concerns that matter to you.
Your visit is centred on women’s health. Depending on your needs and the doctor’s clinical assessment, it may include cervical screening, breast or urinary concerns, contraception or another women’s-health question you would like to discuss.
There is no judgement about how long it has been. We simply meet you where you are.The #Pads4Paps promise
Tell us what you would like to discuss when you book. Your selections help the team prepare, and you will still have time to explain everything in person.
Discuss a Pap smear and whether cervical screening is appropriate for you at this visit.
Raise questions about breast health, urinary symptoms, urine testing or pregnancy screening.
Ask about contraception, family planning or another women’s-health need.
Our volunteer doctors provide their professional services without remuneration. We are proud to celebrate the people behind the care and to support the practices and careers of the doctors who support #Pads4Paps.

Meet Dr Zayyaan →#Pads4Paps brings women’s healthcare and menstrual dignity together. By caring for your own health, you become part of a campaign that supports practical dignity, community giving and opportunities for other women.
Over the years, I have met many women who have quietly placed their own health at the bottom of a very long list.
There is always something else that needs attention. Work. Family. Children. Responsibilities. Life. Sometimes months pass. Sometimes years.
#Pads4Paps began as a simple idea: women helping women. We wanted to create a welcoming opportunity for women to prioritise their health while also supporting the dignity and wellbeing of another woman.
This campaign is not about judging how long it has been since your last check-up or whether you have ever had a Pap smear before. It is about meeting you where you are and helping you take the next step.
Whether you attend for screening, advice, reassurance or to discuss a concern, our team will do everything we can to ensure that you feel respected, heard and cared for.
Thank you for trusting us with your health. We look forward to welcoming you.
