Hemas Hospitals with ‘BreastOber!’ offers 30% savings on mammograms

Breast cancer is a global concern and Sri Lanka is no exception to this alarming trend. Every 14 seconds, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer worldwide and early detection is crucial for a 100 percent cure rate. With 2.3 million women suffering from breast cancer worldwide in 2020 and 685,000 lives lost, the time for action is now. 

Recognising the gravity of this issue, with 4,500 new cases detected in Sri Lanka in 2019 alone, Hemas Hospitals is stepping up to make a difference during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which falls each year during October, with a special awareness drive called ‘BreastOber’. In particular, the effort aims to raise awareness about the importance of early detection, which is possible through Hemas Hosptals’ pain-free mammogram technology. With this advanced technology, there is no need for women fear any discomfort during the procedure. 

As Sri Lanka’s most loved healthcare brand and a socially responsible corporate citizen, Hemas Hospitals has taken it upon itself to educate and raise awareness among the public about breast cancer. Beyond creating awareness, ‘BreastOber’ also encourages women to take proactive steps towards early detection and prevention. 
In fact, the public can call the Hemas Hospitals BreastOber hotline on 0777-001216 and book a free consultation – the BreastOber Clinic is open every day from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. During #BreastOber, Hemas Hospitals is also offering a special 30 percent discount on its cutting-edge mammograms. 

Hemas Hospitals Managing Director Dr. Lakith Peiris summed up the significance of ‘BreastOber’ saying, “Our purpose is to make healthful living happen. This extends beyond our patients to the communities we serve. With ‘BreastOber’, we want to emphasise that early detection is the cornerstone of successful breast cancer prevention. We invite every Sri Lankan to join in our effort to create awareness and minimise the negative impacts of this disease, which is entirely curable but only if it is detected early.”
