Hoan My Medical Group launches breast cancer screening to support community health

The programme aims to enhance access to breast cancer screening and empower women to improve their health. With the message “Screen for Breast Cancer Today, Protect Your Tomorrow”, Hoan My is encouraging women to get regular screenings to ensure early detection and effective treatment.

Breast cancer is among the most common cancers worldwide, with rising incidence rates, particularly in developing countries, according to the World Health Organization. In Vietnam, breast cancer ranks as the top cancer among women, with over 24,500 new cases in 2022, comprising 28.9 per cent of the total, according to the Global Cancer Observatory.

In its early stages, breast cancer often has no clear signs and is primarily detected through screening. Although the age of onset is decreasing, many women postpone screening due to fear. However, when detected early, breast cancer is highly manageable, with a survival rate exceeding 90 per cent. Regular screening is essential to protect women and enhance the effectiveness of treatment, reducing the burden on patients.

"Hoan My is dedicated to improving women's health and increasing the well-being of all Vietnamese people by consistently offering early screening, precise diagnoses, and effective treatments,” said Dilshaad Ali Bin Abas Ali, CEO of Hoan My Medical Group. “Hoan My is also a pioneer in establishing a Center of Excellence to offer specialised care for complex diseases such as cancer (including breast cancer), liver diseases, and neurosurgery. With a team of leading experts and advanced technology, patients can receive comprehensive cancer treatment in Vietnam without having to go abroad."

Breast cancer screening is performed using various methods. These include clinical examination, breast ultrasound, mammography (breast X-ray), or an MRI with next-generation contrast agents, helping doctors to detect, screen, and accurately assess breast lesions.

Hoan My has invested in leading technologies for the comprehensive screening and diagnosis of breast diseases. This includes a 3.0 Tesla SIGNA™ Hero MRI system for rapid and accurate detection of lesions, as well as others to facilitate early detection, accurate diagnosis, and long-term management.

Hoan My also places a strong focus on the psychological wellbeing of its patients. Before performing mastectomies, Hoan My’s doctors provide counselling and develop a breast reconstruction plan, helping patients to overcome body-image concerns and regain confidence in their personal and social lives.

To enhance women's healthcare, particularly in the prevention of breast cancer, Hoan My Medical Group is offering an initiative for early screening. Running until December 31, various screening packages are available, including a 40 per cent discount for an essential breast health package, a 25 per cent discount for a comprehensive breast care package, a 15 per cent discount for a advanced breast health package, and a 20 per cent discount for a cervical screening package.

Hoan My partners with Singapore group to enhance quality of treatment Hoan My Medical Group, Vietnam’s largest private healthcare network, and The Specialists Collective (TSC), a Singapore-headquartered medical group, have signed an MoU with the aim of enhancing the quality of medical diagnosis and treatment in Vietnam for a range of diseases and conditions, focusing on cardiovascular and neurovascular care.
