Volpara Group CEO Dr Highnam said: “Public breast cancer screening programmes around the world do a fantastic job at reducing deaths from breast cancer, and they do so by operating under the strictest quality control, which can make change difficult. “But, we are delighted to now have BreastScreen Queensland signing up to use our software, making it the second major public breast cancer screening programme in Australia signed up to Volpara products. This is news that will resonate around the world, and we are extremely pleased that our software will be helping women in the fight against breast cancer, including women in the lives of many of our long-term investors”.
