Lions’ New Skin Cancer Screening Truck Determined to Save More Lives

The Lions Cancer Institute (WA) Inc is proud to announce its investment in a new custom-designed mobile screening facility to continue offering free full body skin cancer checks to communities across Western Australia.

This initiative underscores the Institute’s commitment to early detection and prevention of skin cancer, a prevalent health concern in the State.

Delivered by Truck Centre WA, the mobile clinic (built onto a Volvo FE truck chassis and an aluminium bus body from OmniBus) is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by experienced medical professionals, ensuring accessible and high-quality skin checks for all.

This investment aims to significantly enhance the reach of the Institute’s skin cancer awareness campaign, particularly in remote and under-served areas.

To date, the Lions Cancer Institute has completed some 95,000 screenings, with more than 23% of these being escalated for further comprehensive testing.

Of this number, over 1,300 individuals 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.

The Lions Cancer Institute’s new mobile clinic is a testament to its ongoing efforts to combat skin cancer and improve the health outcomes of Western Australians, a service funded entirely by sponsors, Lions Clubs and public donations.
