Expected Results: The project aims at reducing breast cancer mortality rates through development of prevention test screening programmes of mobile mammography and establishment of hereditary cancer outpatient facilities. The increased accessibility to health care services and emphasis on healthy lifestyle will be the focus of the awareness raising measures: information booklets and information campaigns.
