Rotary BowelScan Redland City

BowelScan is a public awareness program seeking to increase community knowledge of bowel cancer and its symptoms, as well as the distribution of faecal occult blood testing kits to facilitate early diagnosis.

The program runs during the month of March every year in Redland City, with kits being returned by the end of April.  People residing outside Redlands are also able to purchase kits during this period by going to the “Get a Kit” page on this site.
