The head of Academic Jihad announced free breast cancer treatment services for women in the three lowest income deciles of society at the organization's National Cancer Research Institute.

According to Ambassador Arjan, quoted by Jihad University, Dr. Ali Montazeri, President of Jihad University, on the eve of the birth of Hazrat Zeinab Kabri (pbuh) and Nurse's Day, referring to the importance of providing fair access to health services in the current conditions of the country and the need to increase the resilience of the health system and families against the heavy costs of treatment, by implementing a free breast cancer treatment plan for women in the first to third income deciles at the specialized polyclinic of the National Cancer Research Institute University Jihad reported.

Pointing out that the considerable increase in treatment costs in the current special conditions of the country has put considerable economic pressure on families and affected their ability to cover the costs of medicine and treatment, he said: In such a situation, having proper diagnostic and treatment services is one of the basic needs of every person and economic restrictions should not create an obstacle to receive the medical services needed by patients, especially the underprivileged.

Emphasizing the role of women in strengthening the family foundation, Dr. Montazeri added: Early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, as the most common cancer among women, has a significant impact on the success of the treatment process, while delay in diagnosis and treatment can have irreparable consequences for the patient and his family.

Referring to the specialized capacities of the Jihad University National Cancer Research Institute, he stated: The National Cancer Research Institute, with more than four decades of experience in the field of cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and education, especially breast cancer, has decided to play an effective role in reducing the economic barriers to patients' access to specialized and specialized services by relying on its internal resources and capacities, along with research and technological activities.
