Bahamas says no to donated breast-exam machine

Click to read storyHealth Minister Hubert Minnis said he won’t accept a donated mammography machine because his ministry cannot afford the infrastructure needed to make use of it.

An American Donor has made several attempts to provide the machine for use in the family islands.

Cancer Society President Terrance Fountain said the government should find a way to accept the machine, especially since young Bahamian women are nearly three times more likely than young American women to be diagnosed with the disease.
