AAR Hospital has cut the cost of screening for select types of cancers by more than half, to mark the October Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The Kiambu Road-based level 5 private hospital has halved the cost of a mammogram to Sh2,500 from Sh5,000 while a breast ultrasound will cost Sh3,500 down from Sh6,000 during the period. “Breast cancer screening has been proven to increase chances of early diagnosis and improve on treatment outcomes and survival rates,” said AAR Hospital Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon, Dr Moki Mwendwa.
