**5. Conclusions**

The present study depicted that the knowledge was significantly associated with age group, nationality, level of education, and HCWs categories. However, attitude was significantly associated only with the nationality of the HCW's. Overall, the knowledge and attitude among the northern Saudi HCWs were found to be inadequate. There were several barriers reported by the HCWs to utilizing the free mammogram services provided by the MOH, KSA, and these barriers correlated negatively with the HCW's knowledge of breast cancer. The need of the hour is to develop evidence-based and target-oriented educational programs for the HCWs, who in turn can play a pivotal role in educating the community regarding the risk factors of breast cancer and the importance of its early detection.
