爱尔兰的“乳房检查”在工作人员短缺和流行病影响的情况下错过了筛查目标。 Ireland's BreastCheck misses screening targets amid staff shortages and pandemic impacts.

爱尔兰的乳房检查是50至69岁妇女免费乳腺癌筛查方案,在过去两年中没有达到其目标。 Ireland's BreastCheck, a free breast cancer screening program for women aged 50 to 69, has missed its targets for the past two years. 去年,该方案在195 000名妇女的目标中,筛选了137 134名妇女。 Last year, the program screened 137,134 women out of a target of 195,000. 2023年,在185 000人的目标中,检查了166 532人。 In 2023, it screened 166,532 out of a goal of 185,000. 卫生服务执行部(HSE)将这一短缺归因于全球放射科工作人员短缺,以及这一流行病期间服务中断。 The Health Service Executive (HSE) attributes the shortfall to a global shortage of radiology staff and the service being paused during the pandemic. HSE计划增加移动设备,并使用新技术改进筛查数量。 The HSE plans to add mobile units and use new technology to improve screening numbers.
