Gynaecologist consultation and fees in South Africa

Updated 11 November 2026

A gynaecologist consultation in South Africa costs about R 700 at a private practice, and new patients at some clinics pay up to R 3,700. A self-pay Pap smear is around R 280, and a Mirena or Kyleena insertion about R 9,100. For current fees in your area, post a request on BlaBlaPrice and local practices reply with their own price.

Check registration and medical aid first

Clinics in South Africa state that they are registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), and a specialist obstetrician and gynaecologist must also be registered with the Medical Council. Ask for the registration details before you book. Ask too whether the practice takes your medical aid, because some practices publish separate medical aid terms on their fees page.

Season and timing

The climate does not change the visit itself, but your calendar does. Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August, so book a follow-up a few weeks ahead rather than leaving it until your plans are set. Choose a practice in the area you can reach most easily, since the fee lists here are for city practices.

Private practice, hospital or surgery

Clinics in Pretoria and Cape Town publish their fee lists online, so you can compare them before you travel. Surgical care costs much more: one Cape Town gynaecologist's fees for a surgical treatment, with the surgeon, assistant and anaesthetist, come to about R 35,000. Ask the practice for a written estimate before any procedure.

What to write in the request

Say who the patient is, whether it is a new consultation or a follow-up, and which service you need, such as a Pap smear or an ultrasound. Name your city or area: Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria or Gqeberha. Add the date you prefer, whether you want a private practice or a hospital, your medical aid, and your budget if you pay out of pocket.
