Truckies in WA now have more access to free skin checks thanks to the launch of a new custom-designed mobile screening facility towed by a Volvo FE from Truck Centre WA.
MLG also chipped in a sponsorship commitment of $100,000 over the next five years to the Lions Cancer Institute (WA) initiative.
Lions said the new truck should significantly enhance its capacity to provide free skin cancer screenings across Western Australia’s remote communities.
The mobile clinic has been built onto a Volvo FE truck chassis with an aluminium bus body from OmniBus and is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by experienced medical professionals, ensuring accessible and high-quality skin checks for all, the institute said.
This investment aims to significantly enhance the reach of the Institute’s skin cancer awareness campaign, particularly in remote and underserved areas.
To date, the Lions Cancer Institute has completed some 95,000 screenings, with over 23 per cent of these being escalated for further comprehensive testing.
Of this number, more than 1300 people were identified as having life-threatening skin cancers.
“Skin cancer is a serious issue that affects so many Australians. Early detection is crucial, and this new mobile clinic will make a real difference in saving lives,” said the institute.
