The Importance of Mammography in Modern Healthcare
Last year, medical facilities in Odessa conducted 13,400 mammographic examinations, identifying over 500 cases of suspected oncological conditions. Women with detected anomalies were referred for further consultation with specialists.
Mammography is a crucial cancer screening method that allows for the early detection of breast tumors and timely identification of precancerous conditions for treatment initiation. Women over 40 are advised to undergo mammography annually, even in the absence of complaints.
Free mammography is included in the state medical guarantee program and is funded by the National Health Service of Ukraine for women aged 40 and over, upon referral from a family or treating physician.
Medical institutions in Odessa have been equipped with modern mammography machines funded by the city budget, and a unique Family Health Center has been established at Consultative Diagnostic Center No. 6 for comprehensive diagnostics and treatment of breast diseases.
