The Breast and Bowel Screening Program is a life-saving, population-based initiative that aims to promote education,
awareness and early detection of breast and bowel cancer in Qatar. Titled ‘Screen for Life’, it is being conducted under
Qatar’s National Cancer Program which represents a shift towards preventive and community-based care. The Primary
Health Care Corporation (PHCC), a provider of a wide range of primary healthcare services across the State of Qatar,
has been given the authority to lead the program. The program encourages women aged 45-69 years with no symptoms
to receive breast cancer screening through mammography, which is generally considered safe, quick and relatively painless.
The Ministry of Public Health recommends breast cancer screening every three years.
