Campaigns will be run around the world to raise awareness of this important topic. Women are encouraged to get screened; early detection of breast cancer is a key element in increasing survival rates.

Free breast cancer screening this October

KAUST Health follows the US CDC guidelines, and they recommend that women in the qualifying groups should be screened every two years.

KAUST Health is offering free screenings to:

  • All women aged 40 and over who have not been screened in the last two years.
  • All women above 30 with a family history, or a sibling or mother who had breast cancer and have not been screened in the last two years.

Book your screening today

Call 940 from a landline or 012 808 0940 from a mobile phone, mention this campaign and make your appointment.

When you arrive at KAUST Health, inform the reception staff that you are visiting for breast cancer screening. If you have any questions about our breast cancer screening campaign, please email fatmah.hadadi@kaust.edu.sa for more information.
