Does anyone know the best place (service and cost) to have a mammogram done.

I've looked into Family Medical Practice, it'd be great to know what else is out there to make a comparison.

Thank you kindly!

There is a certain amount of price fixing in the Foreigner medical business. And you certainly can't use the VNese health system for this.

Family Medical Practice is amongst the most economical, except at their 'Clinic' at the Manor for executives.

There is nothing wrong with you doing your own market survey by telephoning around.

And make it clear you want a copy of the photograph to keep yourself, many newer systems are digital and involve storing data on a 'chip' of some kind. Then you could e-mail it back home to your family doctor.

More importantly, it frees you from the clinic you have it done at and freedom equates to economy - saving money.

Sound advise thanks for the tip!

The Family Medical practice charges $50 for consultation and referral to the Manor where they'll take the mammogram at $ 80

Also waiting to hear from Centre Medical International.

There's quite a number of hospitals with specialised cancer treatment programs but I think they are for the benefit of the locals only.
Thanks a ton anyway!
