Get A Free BCAM 2008 Bag Sponsored by Carestream Health

The Pink Ribbon has become a universal symbol of hope and awareness in the fight against breast cancer. To show support for the Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2008 (“BCAM 2008”) in October, Carestream Health Singapore sponsored 1000 free BCAM bags for women who go for a breast screening at any of the National Healthcare Group Diagnostics (“NHG Diagnostics”) mammography clinics.

Last year, the NHG Diagnostics participated in a similar project with Carestream Health and distributed pretty pink coloured bags at its respective clinics. You can also donate to the Breast Cancer Foundation charity box located at these NHG Diagnostics clinics. "This is a great opportunity to contribute to Breast Cancer Awareness while showing how proud we are about our ongoing contribution to breast cancer screening in the community” says Carestream Health’s Marketing Manager Constance Lee.
