Revolutionising Breast Health: Mobile Mammography Brings Life-Saving Screenings to Underserved Areas. Breast cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide, and South Africa is no exception. According to the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA), breast cancer accounts for approximately 28% of all cancers diagnosed in women in the country. Early detection is vital in reducing breast cancer fatalities, and mobile mammography is transforming the way breast health services are delivered, particularly in underserved and remote areas across South Africa.
What Are Mobile Mammograms?
Mobile mammograms are specially designed vehicles equipped with advanced mammography technology for breast cancer screenings on the move. These mobile units function as self-contained breast health clinics, offering the same level of care as stationary facilities. Staffed by highly trained radiographers and technicians, these units provide women with access to accurate, reliable breast cancer screenings in areas where healthcare facilities may be scarce or out of reach.
How Mobile Mammograms Are Breaking Down Barriers to Breast Health
For women living in rural or disadvantaged communities, accessing quality healthcare can be a significant challenge. Mobile mammograms eliminate many barriers, including:
- Transportation challenges: Women no longer need to travel long distances to access mammography services.
- Cost: By bringing services directly to communities, mobile units reduce the financial burden associated with travel and lodging.
- Access to specialised facilities: Mobile mammography ensures women in underserved areas receive expert care without requiring them to leave their communities.
