All Affidea Diagnostic Centers participate in the national prevention campaign "Fofi Gennimata."

Screening for the prevention of breast cancer, one of the most common forms of cancer in women, is extremely important for the early detection of the disease, and therefore its effective treatment. It is notable that in Greece, only 11% of cancer diagnoses were made during preventive check-ups, according to data from the Hellenic Cancer Federation, a particularly low percentage that needs to increase in the coming years.

Currently, the national breast health campaign is underway through the "Fofi Gennimata" program, which allows women to be screened preventively and free of charge for breast cancer. This program is aimed at all women aged 45-74 who reside in Greece and have a social security number (AMKA).

In addition, the program offers the opportunity for women of all ages to learn about the benefits of this screening, which can be life-saving. Digital mammography is the main examination that will provide the most accurate assessment of breast health and help us detect and take timely action on any concerning findings.

Affidea Diagnostic Centers are actively participating in the "Fofi Gennimata" prevention and awareness program, which offers free breast cancer screenings. Additionally, Affidea provides the option to schedule a free digital mammogram online through its website at https://affidea.gr/en/services/imaging-department/digital-mammography/.
