Beijing women to get free check-ups

Beijing women will receive free breast and cervical cancer screening and children will get a health check-up this year.

The cancer screenings will run from April to December, but are only available to women with Beijing hukou, or permanent residence permits.

The Beijing health bureau said women aged 25-65 are eligible for the cervical cancer test, and women aged 40-60 could receive a free breast check-up.
