Awareness Visit by Radiography Technology Students to the Maternity and Gynecology Hospital – Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign

As part of the ongoing scientific and awareness activities of the Radiography Technology Department, students organized a field visit to the Maternity and Gynecology Hospital in Duhok as part of a breast cancer awareness campaign. The students participated in providing awareness guidelines and informational brochures aimed at raising awareness among women about the importance of early screening and periodic detection of the disease.
During the visit, the students were accompanied by a number of hospital staff, including Dr. Dalin Anwar Sadiq (Obstetrics and Gynecology Specialist) and Dr. Joan Bashir (Radiology and Ultrasound Specialist), who gave a detailed explanation of the mechanisms for early diagnosis of breast cancer using medical imaging techniques. The visit included a field tour of the hospital departments to learn about the latest equipment and technologies used in diagnosing breast diseases. This initiative aims to promote health awareness and encourage women to undergo early screenings, as well as to enrich the practical aspect for radiology students and connect them with the reality of work in health institutions. The Department of Radiography Technology also extends its sincere thanks and appreciation to the Directorate of Health of Duhok Governorate, especially the administration of the Maternity and Gynecology Hospital, for their fruitful cooperation, warm welcome, and continuous support for the university’s initiatives aimed at serving the community and promoting health awareness among its members.
