District Health Centre (DHC)/DHC Express provide health risk factor assessment to members and arrange those with risk factors for women health problems (e.g. breast cancer) to Women Wellness Satellite.
Women at high risk
Advised to receive annual breast cancer screening.
Breast Cancer Screening Pilot Programme Phase II collaborates with designated service providers to provide subsidised breast cancer screening for eligible women at high risk of developing breast cancer.
