BreastScreen Aotearoa

BreastScreen Aotearoa is New Zealand’s national breast cancer screening program. It offers free mammograms for women aged 45 to 69 to detect breast cancer early, before symptoms appear. Regular screening helps find cancers at an early, treatable stage, increasing the chances of successful treatment. Women are invited to participate every two years, and the service also provides information and support about breast health. The program aims to reduce breast cancer mortality and promote early detection through accessible, high-quality screening services across the country.
