Breast cancer screening region of Eindhoven

For the biannual population screening for breast cancer this year, our residents will be referred to a location in Eindhoven. We understand that this is a barrier for some to have this preventive screening done.

It is incorrectly stated by the organization that Geldrop-Mierlo did not grant permission to place a mobile research center. However, the location inquired about (parking lot at the Weijer) was not available at the time requested. There was no further consultation or request for an alternative location or period.

As a municipality, we believe that this type of Health should also be accessible to everyone, both in Geldrop and in Mierlo. We will enter into a discussion with the organization about the lack of a mobile examination center in our municipality, but we have no influence on the choices of Bevolkingsonderzoek Nederland.
