Rural women too shy to go for mammograms


IPOH: Modesty is keeping rural women from going for mammograms even when they are eligible for the state subsidy, says Datuk Dr Wan Norashikin Wan Noordin.

The Perak women development, family and social welfare committee chairman said the subsidy, provided by the state government since 2007, was aimed at encouraging women to undergo screening for early detection of breast cancer.
