300 Free 3D Mammogram Screenings Donated to Community Women, Championing Self-Care and Compassionate Support
Building on its commitment to accessible healthcare, Chiron Medical Group (Referred as “Chiron”) launched the “1:1 Breast Health Empowerment Charity Campaign” earlier this year, delivering 105 free 3D mammogram screenings and personalized medical consultations to underprivileged women. Through a series of six interactive breast health workshops, the initiative successfully engaged numerous low-income participants, encouraging them to register for essential mammograms.

To further amplify its dedication to women's wellness, Chiron Medical has now unveiled the second phase of the campaign during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This expansion doubles the free screening quota to 300, empowering more women in the community while inspiring broader public involvement in proactive health advocacy. With no eligibility barriers or complex registration required, the program operates on a simple 1:1 model: For every woman who opts for a paid 3D mammogram, Chiron Medical sponsors an identical free screening for an economically disadvantaged community member. This phase partners with two esteemed non-profits-Caritas Mutual Aid Centre for Single Parent Families and the Hong Kong Federation of Women's Centres (HKFWC) -to identify and facilitate access for beneficiaries.
Key insights from the first phase underscore the program's impact:
— 85% of women were found to have breast abnormalities, such as nodules and fibroadenomas, requiring regular monitoring. Among them, 6% were highly suspected to have malignant tumors, with one individual diagnosed with breast cancer. All were referred to public hospitals for further treatment by Chiron Medical.
— Over 90% of those with abnormalities had not detected these issues through self-examinations alone.
These findings emphasize the critical gap in self-detection awareness and the vital role of routine professional screenings. In response, Chiron Medical is intensifying efforts to educate and support women through breast cancer awareness seminars and additional free screenings, fostering greater community knowledge and empowerment.
Ms. Fong Nga-yee, Head of Clinic Operations and Head of Nurse at Chiron Medical Group, remarked: “The inaugural phase of our '1:1 Breast Health Empowerment Charity Campaign' was heartening, as we witnessed underprivileged women embracing the workshops with enthusiasm and posing insightful questions. Many who initially hesitated about screenings were motivated to proceed after attending. In this second round, we aim to reach even more women in need, debunk myths surrounding breast cancer detection, and highlight the life-saving benefits of early intervention. We urge everyone to make breast health a regular priority for timely discovery and action. Partnering with Caritas Mutual Aid Centre for Single Parent Families and HKFWC will undoubtedly multiply our impact.”
Ms Vanness Lo, Team Leader of Caritas Mutual Aid Centre for Single Parent Families, shared, “Many female caregivers dedicate their energy to family care for extended periods, often at the expense of their own physical and mental well-being. To enhance women's awareness and understanding of their health, we are honored to collaborate with Chiron Medical Group in launching the '1:1 Breast Health Empowerment Charity Campaign'. This initiative will feature breast health seminars and provide eligible women with free 3D mammography screenings, helping them to understand their health status early and recognize the importance of prevention and early detection. We hope this program will encourage women to prioritize self-care and cultivate a proactive attitude towards their physical and mental health, fostering a culture of care that begins within themselves and extends to their families and communities.”
Ms. Sisi Liu, Director of HKFWC, stated: “As a women-centered organization, HKFWC has always been committed to promoting women's physical and mental well-being and encouraging their personal development. We sincerely thank Chiron Medical for donating medical check-up quotas to women in need at HKFWC. While caring for the community, this generous support also helps spread the important message of “loving oneself” to the public.”
Looking to the future, Chiron Medical remains steadfast in its dual pillars of “disease treatment” and “health management,” delivering holistic medical care backed by continuous support and expert guidance to help patients thrive on their wellness journey.
