Hospital Fundraises for New Mammogram Machine for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

In a significant move to enhance breast cancer detection and treatment, the primary hospital in Antigua and Barbuda has initiated a fundraising campaign to acquire a state-of-the-art mammogram machine. This initiative, launched during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, aims to bolster screening capabilities and minimize patient waiting times. The hospital has encouraged the public to support the cause by purchasing specially designed awareness pins and wristbands, available at the hospital’s cashier and Woods Pharmacy. Officials have emphasized that all contributions will be directly allocated to the purchase of the new equipment, underscoring its critical role in advancing local healthcare infrastructure and raising nationwide awareness about breast cancer. This effort reflects a broader commitment to improving public health outcomes and ensuring timely access to essential medical services.
