Specialist Clinical Sonographer and president of Pink Ribbon Charity Montserrat, Sonia Charles, has questioned why mammogram examinations are not done on island.
Her question comes following the procurement, installation and commissioning of a mammogram machine here.
Even though the ministry of health, in response, states that they have to fly in staff, that they are one year behind in mammograms, and are working hard to obtain additional staff to correct the extremely worrying problem, Ms Charles counters that much more could be done.
Miss Charles recommends actions that could and need to be taken in the interim to help to manage and improve the current situation.
