Another landmark was made in the history of NAFOWA on the 19^th of June 2008.  The event was the commissioning of NAFOWA Cancer Screening Centre Abuja, at the NAF Hospital in Abuja.
The former Chief of the Air Staff was the Guest of Honour at the occasion.

In her opening remarks, the former National President of NAFOWA, Mrs. Sade Dike, whose initiative it was to establish the centre, made known the aim of commissioning the centre, which is basically to provide screening services for Cervical Cancer. She said NAFOWA and AWA members will be screened free of charge and members of the public at a subsidized rate.
Other centres will be located in Lagos, Makurdi, Jos and Kaduna.
The Abuja screening centre will concentrate on screening for  Cervical Cancer for now, while screening for other types of Cancer may come up in the future.

An enlightening lecture on Cervical Cancer was given by Dr (Mrs) Grace Nwanna, Consultant Obstetrician/Gynaecologist, 347 NAF Hospital,Jos. She enumerated the risk factors that can endanger one to Cervical Cancer and talked about prevention as well as cures. Her talk was followed by a question and answer session.

All women were encouraged to go for screening.

The Centre was commissioned by the former NAFOWA National President, Mrs Dike, who was later led with other guests, on a tour of the facility, by the Doctor in charge.
