Obvestilo: Vabljenje žensk iz Ukrajine z začasno zaščito v Sloveniji na mamografijo v programu DORA

V državnem presejalnem programu za raka dojk DORA vabimo ženske, stare od 50 do 69 let, s stalnim ali začasnim prebivališčem v Republiki Sloveniji na preventivno mamografijo vsaki dve leti. Mamografija je za ženske brezplačna in zagotovljena v okviru obveznega zdravstvenega zavarovanja v Sloveniji. Upravičenost ženska izkaže s kartico zdravstvenega zavarovanja in/ali biometrično osebno izkaznico na sprejemu v presejalnem centru programa DORA, kamor je vabljena.

Po Zakonu o začasni zaščiti razseljenih oseb (45. člen) so osebe z začasno zaščito brez urejenega obveznega zdravstvenega zavarovanja upravičene do nujne medicinske pomoči in zdravstvenega varstva žensk, kar pa ne vključuje preventivnih zdravstvenih storitev, kot so državni presejalni programi za raka (več: Zdravstveno varstvo za državljane Ukrajine | GOV.SI).
Ker večina žensk iz Ukrajine z začasno zaščito v preteklosti ni imela urejenega obveznega zdravstvenega zavarovanja, smo avgusta 2022 ustavili njihovo vabljenje v program DORA (več v novici). Po daljšem bivanju v Sloveniji pa so si nekatere ženske uredile stalno ali začasno prebivališče ter obvezno zdravstveno zavarovanje, zato jih ponovno vabimo v program DORA na presejalno mamografijo v najbližji center programa DORA.

Opozarjamo, da je za opravljanje presejalne mamografije v programu DORA, ki sodi med storitve preventivnega zdravstvenega varstva, obvezno potrebno imeti urejeno obvezno zdravstveno zavarovanje v Republiki Sloveniji. Ženskam brez urejenega obveznega zdravstvenega zavarovanja presejalne mamografije ne bomo mogli opraviti. Mamografije v programu DORA prav tako ni mogoče opraviti samoplačniško.
Če ženska sama opazi kakršno koli spremembo na dojkah, naj se čim prej obrne na izbranega osebnega zdravnika ali ginekologa, ki jo bo po strokovni presoji napotil na preiskave v ambulanto za bolezni dojk. Če ima ženska simptome in znake bolezni, ji država skladno z Zakonom o zaščiti razseljenih oseb krije storitve diagnostike in zdravljenja bolezni.

Announcement: Invitation for Women from Ukraine with Temporary Protection in Slovenia to Participate in Mammography within the DORA Programme

In the national breast cancer screening programme DORA, we invite women aged 50 to 69 with permanent or temporary residence in the Republic of Slovenia to undergo a preventive mammography every two years. Mammography is free of charge for women and is provided within the compulsory health insurance system in Slovenia. Eligibility is confirmed by presenting a health insurance card and/or a biometric identity card upon arrival at the DORA screening centre where the woman has been invited.

According to the Temporary Protection of Displaced Persons Act (Article 45), individuals with temporary protection who do not have compulsory health insurance are entitled to emergency medical care and women’s healthcare, which does not include preventive services such as national cancer screening programmes (more: Healthcare for citizens of Ukraine | GOV.SI).
Since most women from Ukraine with temporary protection did not have compulsory health insurance, invitations to the DORA programme were suspended in August 2022 (more in the news). After residing in Slovenia for some time, some women with temporary protection have since arranged their residence status and compulsory health insurance. Therefore, they are once again being invited to screening mammography at the nearest DORA centre.

We would like to highlight that compulsory health insurance in Slovenia is required to access screening mammography within the DORA programme, as it is part of preventive healthcare. If a woman comes for screening mammography without valid compulsory health insurance, we will not be able to perform the preventive examination. It is also not possible to undergo mammography within the DORA programme as a self-paid health service.

If a woman notices any changes in her breasts, we advise her to contact her general practitioner or gynaecologist as soon as possible. Based on a medical assessment, she will be referred for further examination at a breast clinic. If symptoms or signs of illness are present, the state covers diagnostic and treatment services in accordance with the aforementioned Act.
