As part of its ongoing commitment to advancing public health and elevating prevention and early detection services, Emirates Health Services (EHS) continues to invest in advanced diagnostic technologies that make a tangible difference across the patient care journey, with a particular focus on women's health.
The launch of an integrated breast imaging unit at the Family Health Promotion Center in Sharjah represents a qualitative step in this direction. The unit offers a comprehensive diagnostic environment that brings together the latest medical imaging technologies in a single location, streamlining the screening process, reducing waiting time, and enhancing diagnostic accuracy. Equipped with advanced three-dimensional breast imaging capabilities, the unit delivers high-resolution results while minimizing radiation exposure and accelerating examination procedures, contributing to an improved patient experience and encouraging women to adhere to regular screening programs.
One of the unit's most significant advantages is the ability to complete diagnostic assessments within a single visit. This approach reduces the need for multiple appointments and alleviates the psychological burden associated with prolonged waiting for results, while reinforcing early detection as the first and most critical line of defense against breast cancer and a key factor in improving recovery rates. This advancement reflects EHS's broader vision of building an integrated, prevention-focused healthcare system driven by innovation. It also underscores EHS's commitment to promoting a culture of early screening and raising community awareness around preventive care, ultimately supporting better health outcomes and an enhanced quality of life.
