Historic hospital's new life saving women
Melbourne's Mount Royal Hospital, built in 1853 to serve gold rush families and later World War I soldiers, now houses BreastScreen Victoria after a major renovation. The historic Parkville facility screens 60,000 women annually through a free breast cancer screening programme that detects cancer early, as demonstrated by patient Mary Carmuciano whose tumour was found and removed through the service. The upgraded clinic features new equipment and facilities to continue its 173-year legacy of treating Victorians.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
