In addition to being breast aware and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, it is recommended that women begin regular breast cancer screenings from the age of 45. Breast cancer screening is for women without any signs and symptoms. A mammogram (a low dose x-ray exam of your breasts) is performed to find very early changes in the breast. This service is currently offered by PHCC and is available at three Primary Health Care Centers namely (Leabaib, Rawdat Al Khail, and Al Wakra Health Centers, and the Mobile Screening Unit).
