AS PART of the Prostate Awareness Month, prostate screening will be cheaper by up to half this month at 200 clinics islandwide.

This is the first time that the Singapore Urological Association is making cheaper screening available on a wider basis, in a bid to reach out to more people. Previously, it was centralised at the public hospitals.

The package, at a subsidised rate of $50 at family clinics and $100 at specialised clinics in private hospitals, is also more comprehensive with a doctor's consultation and blood and urine tests.
