Last year in Odessa, 13,400 mammographic examinations were performed, resulting in over 500 suspected cases of oncological issues. Women with identified abnormalities were referred to specialists for further evaluation.

Mammography is an essential cancer screening tool that helps diagnose breast tumors at early stages and detect precancerous conditions, allowing for timely treatment. Women over the age of 40 are advised to undergo this examination annually, even in the absence of symptoms.

Free mammography is included in the state medical guarantee program, funded by the National Health Service of Ukraine for women aged 40 and above with a referral from their family or treating doctor.

Medical facilities 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 diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases.
