Pancevo: Free Mammogram Screening Open on Weekends
Starting Monday, September 28, a mobile mammogram unit will run at the Pancevo Health Center parking lot every day, including weekends. Who qualifies, and how do you book a slot?
Can women in Pancevo get a free mammogram starting Monday without a referral? Yes, and the mobile mammogram unit arrives on that exact day and stays at the same address all day long, including both weekend days.
The screening is organized by the Institute of Public Health of Serbia Dr Milan Jovanovic Batut, with support from the Ministry of Health, in cooperation with the Provincial Secretariat for Health and the Pancevo Health Center. Before Pancevo, the mobile mammogram unit worked in Kragujevac starting Friday, September 25, where we wrote about the same campaign at Liberty Square. Now it’s Pancevo’s turn, and the schedule is wider than a woman might expect for a single stop.
When and Where Is the Mobile Mammogram in Pancevo?
The unit is set up in the parking lot of the Pancevo Health Center, on Milos Obrenovic Street, at number 2 to 4. It operates every day, including Saturday and Sunday, from 9 AM to 6 PM. That’s a real difference from the usual clinic booking, where a weekend slot typically isn’t an option.
Who Is Eligible for a Free Screening?
The organized screening is meant for women between 45 and 69 who haven’t had a mammogram in the past two years. Women over 40 also qualify if they have a close relative who has had or been treated for breast cancer. The Pancevo Health Center itself calls women from this target group, so a call from an unknown number these days shouldn’t come as a surprise.
How to Book an Appointment?
There are two phone lines for scheduling, each with different working hours:
- 013/309-215 and 062/804-8079, weekdays from 7 AM to 8 PM
- 013/313-349 and 064/893-1336, weekdays from 7 AM to 3 PM
If you belong to the target group and haven’t been called yet, it’s worth reaching out yourself before appointment slots fill up. The mammogram itself takes only a few minutes, and the outcome of organized screening is always the same: breast cancer caught early is easier to treat.
