A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. It can detect cancer before you can feel it. In Western countries, it's the standard screening tool. Across Africa, it's less common due to limited access and awareness. The challenge: Most breast cancers are found by women themselves, often at advanced stages. Recent studies show 60–80% of cases in Africa are diagnosed late (stage III or IV). Who should consider one: - Women 40 and above: Talk to your doctor about regular screening - Women with family history: Start earlier - Anyone noticing breast changes: Seek care immediately Mammograms are available in major hospitals and diagnostic centres in many African cities. Book your appointment. Early detection saves lives. Don't postpone it. #Mammogram #BreastCancerAwareness #EarlyDetection #GeneteckInnovation #HealthcareAfrica
