MATER APPEALS FOR SUPPORT FOR VITAL MAMMOGRAM APPEAL

The Mater Foundation is calling on people in County Cork to support its vital appeal to fund a new, stateof-the-art mammogram machine for the Mater Public Hospital’s Breast Health unit. This cutting-edge technology uses advanced imaging, which helps in the early detection

of breast cancers and is a vital diagnostic tool.

Every month, the Mater Hospital detects and diagnoses 30-40 breast cancers, and that number is rising.

Commenting on the importance of this appeal, Dr. Emma Stanley, Consultant Radiologist at the Mater Public Hospital says, "Mammogram imaging is the cornerstone of breast cancer diagnosis and care. We just can’t function without good mammograms. For us to have a mammogram machine that we can be fully confident in — that can take the highest quality pictures, help us perform biopsies, and help find very subtle cancers — it’s really going to make a difference. Any help you can give today is so appreciated.”

You can support the Mater Foundation’s Mammogram Appeal by making a donation online at www.materfoundation.ie/donate or by calling the fundraising team on 01-8303482.
