SINGAPORE - Women who have never gone for a mammogram can get a screening done for free at a community screening bus that will visit the Bishan-Toa Payoh-Sin Ming precinct once a month.
......
An average of six women are diagnosed with the disease in Singapore daily.
......
Singaporean women will get a full waiver of the $107 fee if it is their first mammogram, or pay a heavily subsidised rate of just $10 for the screening. Permanent residents also enjoy subsidies, paying $25 for the first mammogram and $35 subsequently.
The bus will visit the Bishan-Toa Payoh-Sin Ming precinct each month, and will be parked at a community club (CC) in the area, such as Bishan CC and Marymount CC, or outside the Breast Cancer Centre.
There are limited slots available, and women can register their interest for a mammogram on a first-come-first-serve basis at this website:
