Welcome to Cancer Screening Unit (CSU)

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the world, including Malaysia. A study done by our team back in 2006 showed that the lack of access to medical facilities caused late detection, lack of awareness and low education in breast cancer. To tackle this issue, MAKNA started the Cancer Screening Unit (CSU).

By modifying our trailer, we are able to travel throughout the country including far rural areas in the effort towards increasing and promoting early breast cancer detection. As of now, we have 3 CSU trailers located in Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak and Sabah.

Our Mobile Breast Screening Programme has benefited diverse groups of women in various parts of the nation, even in remote settlements and out-of-place rural areas which fall right within MAKNA’s plans to provide accessibility of such service to underserved communities.

• Aged 40 old or older
