NHSO ready to increase screening rights “Breast cancer” with a mammogram machine According to the comprehensive cancer policy, “Dr. Chonnan” admits that there are still problems with not enough machines. Accelerate discussions and select at-risk groups for testing first. Gradually releasing announcements in lots until complete.

On December 3 Dr. Jadej Thamthatcharee, Secretary-General of the National Health Security Office (NHSO). Give an interview about the case Dr. Chonnan Srikaew, Minister of Public Health (MOPH), has a comprehensive cancer policy. Focus on screening There will be an increase in screening benefits. “Breast Cancer” with a mammogram machine said that this matter is under consideration and discussion. Actually, we have no problem with providing benefits for mammogram screening at all. But there are still obstacles or limitations in that there are not enough mammogram machines. Because there are only hundreds of machines in the whole country. When it came to adding an ultrasound machine as well. It’s not enough either. Because there are approximately a thousand machines throughout the country. Suppose that if a woman aged 35 years and over is brought in for screening. There are already more than ten million people. It probably won’t be able to support them, and there won’t be enough doctors. Therefore, it must be planned well. With limitations like this, what can we do to get the most benefit?

“Currently, we are giving the academic team a look. Who should be brought in to be screened first? It is currently being discussed. Who should come in as the first lot, the second lot, or the third lot? It will be considered from the most at-risk group to come in first, such as having a direct relative who has had breast cancer first or not. After that, indirect relatives will gradually be chased away, which should be chased away until all groups are complete in the future,” Dr. Jadet said.

Asked whether once the selection has been considered, it must be gradually issued as an announcement granting rights to each group, right? Dr. Jadej said that yes, it will come out in that way. Announcements will be gradually issued to each group.
