Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced on Sunday a free programme of mammograph every two years for all women at the age of 49 and 50 in a meeting with six women that have beaten breast cancer, a woman undergoing treatment and oncologist Elena Linardou in the framework of the World Breast Cancer Day.
During the meeting, they stressed the enormous importance of prevention. For this reason, the Prime Minister said that the cost of digital mammography will be fully covered by the health insurance system (EOPPY). The procedure will be performed in collaboration with the private sector and will involve all women who have not been diagnosed with breast cancer and have not had a preventive mammogram in the last two years.
During the discussion, personal testimonies and experiences from the operation of the health system were presented, while extensive reports were made on the dangers for vulnerable groups during the pandemic.
The prime minister also said that the screening will be repeated every two years and the goal is to digitally create a patient medical file, so that radiological monitoring is possible.
