Women's Health: Mammography Services in Odesa
Last year, Odesa's medical facilities conducted 13,400 mammograms, during which more than 500 cases of suspected oncological conditions were identified. Women with detected abnormalities were referred for further consultation with specialists.
Mammography is a crucial cancer screening method that allows for early detection of breast tumors and timely identification of precancerous conditions for treatment initiation. It is recommended that women over 40 undergo mammography annually, even in the absence of complaints.
Free mammography is part of the state medical guarantee program and is funded by the National Health Service of Ukraine for women aged 40 and older based on a referral from their family doctor.
Odesa's medical institutions are equipped with modern mammography machines, and at the Consultative Diagnostic Center No. 6, a unique Family Health Center has been established for comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases.
