A world-class mobile breast cancer screening unit is currently in Kimberley, and both women with medical aid and those without, can book an appointment for a mammogram and breast sonars.
This is part of the non-profit and mobile mammogram initiative, Screen Her Save Her, in partnership with KSR Keystone Radiology.
Women without medical aid and who cannot afford a mammogram, can apply for a free screening.

An annual mammogram, which is recommended for all women from the age of 40 years, can detect breast cancer even before a lump can be felt. A mammogram is a specialised X-ray that detects abnormalities in breast tissue by capturing detailed images and is the best way to reveal early signs of breast cancer.
Early detection is key to having more treatment options and better treatment outcomes.
- In Kimberley, this all-female unit can be visited on the parking lot at the back of the North Cape Mall until Friday, 28 June.
