Mobile Mammography Service

Learn more about the Mammobus, Singapore’s first mobile screening centre offering digital mammography services.

Mammobus

The National Healthcare Group’s (NHG) Mammobus, a mobile mammography service, is equipped with a digital mammography machine. This allows mammogram images to be reviewed instantly, which can reduce the number of recalls greatly because of blurring issues. It also has a greater capacity to screen more participants, thereby benefiting more women.

Mammobus is the only MediSave-accredited mobile mammography service provider in Singapore.
