Early Breast Cancer Detection

Daffodil Day Is A Nationwide Public Health Campaign Dedicated To Raising Awareness Of The Importance Of Early Breast Cancer Detection. The initiative brings together healthcare professionals, volunteers, and citizens to promote regular screening and timely treatment.

Free Mammography Screening

The campaign also highlights the achievements of Croatia’s National Breast Cancer Early Detection Programme, which marks its 20th anniversary this year. The programme offers free mammography screening every two years to women aged 49–70, with invitations sent directly to their home addresses.

Reduction in Breast Cancer Mortality

Since its launch in 2006, the programme has detected more than 10,000 breast cancer cases and contributed to earlier diagnosis, improved treatment outcomes, and a 25–30% reduction in breast cancer mortality. Advances in screening, diagnostics, multidisciplinary care, and access to innovative therapies have further strengthened its impact.
