Province of Liège's Mammobile Returns to Chaudfontaine for Breast Cancer Screening

The Provincial Health Department has decided to increase its efforts in breast cancer screening by making its Mammobile available to eligible women. This screening vehicle is equipped with a new 'direct radiography' system, promising faster examinations, less painful breast compression, and a 25% reduction in radiation dose. As early detection is widely recognized to improve recovery chances and patient quality of life, this initiative aims to encourage participation.

Several locations and dates are scheduled within the municipality:
Beaufays: Place de la Bouxhe (at the back of the car park, behind the Water Tower) - On 04.12.2026 from 09:30 to 19:30.
Chaudfontaine: Avenue des Thermes, next to Source O Rama (in front of number 73) - On 07.12.2026 from 09:30 to 19:30.
