The Colposcopy Clinic at St. Joseph’s Hospital in London is holding a second pop-up pap pest clinic, no appointment necessary today from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
St. Joseph’s initially offered the clinic back January, which attracted 103 people who began lining up even before the doors opened.
Dr. Robert Di Cecco, obstetrician gynaecologist, medical director of the colposcopy clinic, told CTV News the response surpassed all expectations.
“The response that we got was overwhelming, we were quite thrilled at the number of people that came to the clinic,” said Dr. Di Cecco.
Most of those who turned out did not have a family doctor and were overdue for the screening — some as long as 15 years.
Dr. Di Cecco said for five individuals, the pap test results were abnormal and they are receiving follow-up care.
Today’s clinic had seen 50 women by noon.
