Sharjah hospital for women and children will do a mammogram for free on anyone with a valid right to be here. This information came direct from the UAE's top female breast cancer surgeon at a talk by her last week at Ranches Ladies group.

Had this response: [i'>Hi Lesley, to confirm - all the booking slots in October have been filled due to the success of the K-Lynn Pledge, but all mammogram bookings will be honored by the Dubai London Specialty Hospital. They are scheduling appointments into November and are calling all applicants as and when slots are available. If you would like, please call Ahlam Naqvi on 04 344 6663 for more information and to confirm all these details with you. Thank you for raising this with us and thanks again for Taking the K-Lynn Pledge.[/i'>

And thanks Lakshmi, was that at Welcare Garhoud or Knowledge Village? And did you have to pay for a doctors consultation on top of the AED 344. I am 36 years of age but I have been told I should wait until I am 40, do you know if Welcare has this minimum age limit??

Redlesley - I know I thought it was pretty bad as well, all the reception could tell me was no more bookings were being taken and her Manager is aware of the situation!!

I did a half price mammogram at Welcare a couple of days ago. It cost 344 dirhams and they emailed the report to me the next day. Good service!

I wouldnt bother with the K-Lynn Pledge, I did it yesterday and rang Dubai London Clinic today and they are not taking any more bookings are they are full!!! Lcoolie can you let me know how much you were charged at Welcare and which location did you go to? mmm - that's NOT good. I took the pledge this morning and gace my voucher to my helper. I'm going to ask on the K-Lynn facebook page as they should honour all bookings made even if they go past October

After hearing about Guilana Rancic this morning I think this should be pushed in harder out here, and everywhere in fact. She is only 36, scary :( Good on you for going!

K-Lynn lingerie shop is also offering vouchers this month for a FREE mammogram - just go in to take the pledge and you get a voucher - no need to buy anything. I think this is especially good for helpers so please do let yours know if you have one

I don't think you have to have a referral anywhere, you could just say annual check. I have had them done here at Allied Diagnostic in Satwa and Dubai London Clinic (Festival City or Beach Road).
