Free Mammograms for Women Aged 40+ in Lebanon Until the End of the Year!

According to The Lawyard, women can receive their free mammogram at numerous hospitals across the country. To locate the nearest hospital offering this service, contact the Ministry’s hotline at 1214 or check the following list:

Why Early Detection Matters
Breast cancer is most treatable when detected early. Regular mammograms can identify abnormalities before symptoms appear, improving the chances of successful treatment. Early detection has been shown to save lives, making screenings a vital part of women’s healthcare.

The Importance of Self-Checking
In addition to mammograms, women are encouraged to perform regular self-checks. Self-examinations help individuals become familiar with the normal feel and appearance of their breasts, making it easier to notice any changes such as lumps, dimpling, or unusual discharge.

While self-checks are not a replacement for professional screenings, they are a key tool in early detection. Check out this self-check tutorial:
