Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Director of Public Health Services of Bursa Provincial Health Directorate, Dr. Yunuzu Arslan stated that it is vital for citizens to have regular cancer screenings for early diagnosis. Stating that KETEMs are of great importance in the fight against cancer in Bursa, Dr. Arslan said, “'Early Diagnosis Saves Lives!' in our KETEM units in our city. Screening services for breast, colorectal and cervical cancers are provided free of charge. Thanks to screenings, our chances of detecting cancer early and treating the person increase. By performing these scans in our KETEM unit within our District Health Directorate, we detected cancer in many citizens at an early stage. On this occasion, we permanently changed the name of the stops in front of the District Health Directorate to KETEM-1 and KETEM-2 in order to raise awareness and to make it easier for our citizens who want to come here to reach. "I would like to thank our District Health Director and all those who contributed," he said.
