Support, dignity and early detection – One bra at a time 

With Women’s Month underway, SCP Radiology is proud to once again partner with ILoveBoobies for the annual ‘Bring a Bra’ initiative, that offers more than just support.

With 1 in 27 South African women at risk of developing breast cancer, early detection and education are vital. ILoveBoobies provides free clinical breast exams and awareness drives in underserved communities. Thanks to this campaign, they also restore dignity … one gently worn bra at a time.

Until the end of October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month), women are encouraged to donate gently used bras, which can be dropped off at nine of the SCP Radiology branches.  These bras will be gifted to women undergoing screenings with ILoveBoobies, offering both comfort and care. 

But SCP Radiology’s support doesn’t stop at collections. As an official mammography partner of ILoveBoobies, it provides free mammograms and ultrasounds to patients referred by the charity throughout the year.

‘It’s a simple way to show up for women who need it most,’ says Lelani Terblanche of SCP Radiology. ‘As a practice that regularly performs breast cancer examinations on women and, with some of our staff being breast cancer survivors, we are only too aware of the importance of regular exams and early detection. Together, we’re not just helping raising awareness, we’re supporting each other.’
