Survey and Assessment of Private Sector Mammogram Facilities in Central and North Jordan

One objective of the Private Sector Project for Women’s Health (PSP) is to increase the quality and quantity of breast cancer diagnosis in the private sector. Toward that end, PSP commissioned a survey to:

• Identify radiology facilities and hospitals that provide mammogram testing (screening and diagnostic)
• Understand policies, capacities, and trends prevailing in breast cancer imaging and diagnosis in the private sector
• Assess the training interest of facilities for radiologists and technicians through a program with the King Hussein Cancer Center\
• Identify potential facilities that may be approached for a subsidized screening referral program in collaboration with the National Screening Program

This report presents the findings from this survey and provides recommendations regarding potential facilities for mammogram training and identification of potential facilities for a discount patient referral network. The report also presents recommendations to address gaps and problems on needs of the mammogram sector in the private market.
