They are now launching a trial of breast cancer screening to promote the concept of "Early detection save lives", from the 7th–29th October 2008, with the assistance of Kings College Hospital National Breast Screening Programme Team/London UK. For the first time ever, they will be launching a digital connection of teleradiology trial to transfer films for review at Kings College hospital, and will have a team from Kings College present all through the period of the trial. The month will target women from different sectors of Kuwait’s society, and will contain multiple public educational functions, with media coverage, and scientific training course for the radiographers and radiologist from Kuwait and Gulf states.
