Join Breast Cancer Awareness Month Activities
Campaigns will be run around the world to raise awareness of this important topic. Women are encouraged to get screened – early detection of breast cancer is a key element in increasing survival rates.
Free breast cancer screening this October
KAUST Health follows the US CDC guidelines, and they recommend that women in the 'qualifying groups' should be screened every 2 years.
KAUST Health is offering free screening to:
- All women aged forty and over who have not been screened in the last two years.
- All women above thirty with a family history, or a sibling or mother who has had breast cancer and have not been screened in the last two years.
Book your screening today - Call 940 from a landline or 012 808 0940 from a mobile phone, mention this campaign and make your appointment.
- When you arrive at KAUST Health, inform the reception staff that you are visiting for breast cancer screening.
