The Breast Examination
clinic began serving the public in December 1998 in
response to repeated requests by clients who were
wearied by the long waiting lists faced at the Port of
Spain General Hospital.
Patients who require the
services of a doctor after screening by the nurses at
the FPA clinic are referred to the FPA Breast
Examination Clinic. There a doctor will confirm the
diagnosis made by the nurse and make a decision on the
next course of action. At the Breast Examination
Clinic patients are usually examined for lumps in the
breast or other unusual developments of the breast
tissue.
