Free breast cancer screening Meera Murugesan
IN partnership with the National Cancer Society of Malaysia (NCSM), Etiqa has launched its Free Mammogram Programme – Phase 4.
This is the fourth phase of Etiqa and NCSM s commitment to address Malaysian women s health, this time by providing free breast cancer screening for 6,000 underprivileged women, aged 40 and above. The one-year, nationwide programme is worth RM 2.04 million, and falls under Etiqa Cares, Etiqa s flagship corporate responsibility commitment towards healthy living.
This follows the successful completion of Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 of Etiqa s Free Mammogram Programme, where a total of RM 6.53 million was contributed towards free mammograms that benefitted 17,000 underprivileged women across Peninsular Malaysia. Eligible women from communities around Malaysia were transported to the NCSM Centre in Kuala Lumpur, or appointed hospitals for the free mammograms.
