This month, the two hospitals will offer free and discounted tests and screening for fibroids.
At 50 per cent discount, a number of women will be able to have abdominal scans, breast and cervical cancer scans and Pap smear with free consultations on fibroid-related conditions.
The campaign follows an article published in Daily Monitor on February 8 in which popular radio personality Robina Mbabazi, aka Bina Babie, detailed her battle with fibroids and the misconception that even without going to hospital, one will get healed.
This will be followed by an editorial driven campaign on fibroids from March 8 to 31. The focus of the campaign is to draw public attention to the devastation that fibroids can cause, addressing its risk factors, who can get fibroids and why, treatment options, financial implications of treating fibroids, how the discovery of fibroids affects relationships and how having fibroids can impact one’s fertility.
