She announced that underprivileged women will be able to receive free breast examinations by simply calling the governments free *462 hotline and making an appointment. The examinations will take place at the Presidential Police and Armed Forces offices. As part of this campaign, a leaflet for women with advice on carrying out self-examinations will be included in all today's newspapers. The First Lady said that there was no better day than today, International Breast Cancer Day, to offer women over 35, with few resources, the opportunity to get checked. According to Cedeno, 600 new cases of breast cancer are reported each year at the Dr. Heriberto Pieter hospital alone.
