Early detection and free examination

The Podlaskie Regional NFZ Branch emphasizes that early detection of changes in the breasts gives, in its assessment, almost 100 percent chance of complete recovery (Podlaski Oddział Wojewódzki NFZ – Październik jest różowy, bo dbamy o te, które kochamy! Zrób mammografię i podaj to dalej 🎀 – NFZ – Podlaski Oddział Wojewódzki). Mammography in the program financed by the fund is free and is available to women aged 45–74 once every two years. No referral is needed (POWIAT BOCHEŃSKI. Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia zaprasza mieszkanki powiatu bocheńskiego na mammografię. Zobacz, gdzie i kiedy można się zbadać? – Bochnia i Brzesko z bliska – bochniazbliska.pl) (Bezpłatna mammografia w Krynicy-Zdroju. Mammobus przyjedzie 3 listopada - Krynica-Zdrój Info – krynica-zdroj.info).

Where to have the examination

The region has 32 stationary facilities. The examination can also be done in a mammobus, that is, a mobile clinic. Most mammobuses travel to smaller towns and villages. The branch publishes the mammobus stop schedule for the Podlaskie Voivodeship on its website. In November the mammobus will stop in Bochnia and in Proszówki.

Krynica-Zdrój: 3 November

On Tuesday, 3 November, the vehicle will stand next to the Dom Zdrojowy, at Dietla 21 in Krynica-Zdrój. Women can be examined between 9:00 and 17:00.

HPV test at the same time

Without a referral, you can also take a free HPV test under the cervical cancer prevention program (Mammografia i test HPV bez skierowania. Sprawdź, komu przysługują bezpłatne badania NFZ - naszkrakow.pl – naszkrakow.pl).

Lesser Poland: stadium campaign and conference

The Lesser Poland Regional NFZ Branch runs campaigns outside October. On 19 October, the fund's advisers stood by the stadium in Nieciecza before a 1 Liga match, to remind fans about regular examinations (Aktualności / Nasz Oddział / Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia – NFZ – Małopolski Oddział Wojewódzki). The branch also invited people to a conference in Libiąż. During it, it will give a lecture on e-health, which is meant to make access to prevention easier (Aktualności / Nasz Oddział / Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia – NFZ – Małopolski Oddział Wojewódzki (2)).
