2020 has been a challenging time, and we want to remind the community that now it is just as important, if not more important, that we monitor our own individual health and wellbeing.
Breast cancer remains the most common cancer found in women worldwide. During the month of October, organizations around the globe unite for a common cause, breast cancer awareness.

Free screenings for qualifying community members
For the month of October, KAUST Health is waiving the 26 SAR administration fee for KAUST-insured community members who meet the above screening criteria.
Those who do not qualify for free screenings are also encouraged to participate in the screening program, but co-payments and consultation fees may apply, based on your insurance coverage.
