CANCER is the most deadly word a patient can hear from the doctor. Among different types of cancer, women suffer mostly from cervical and breast cancer. India is experiencing an unprecedented rise in the number of breast cancer cases across all sections of society. We can definitely detect it early and treat adequately. ONLY with early detection, can we achieve a longer survival. The project aims to empower women, spread awareness and ensure a cancer free society.
India is experiencing an unprecedented rise in the number of breast cancer cases across all sections of society.There is no way we can prevent breast cancer, but we can definitely detect it early and treat adequately. ONLY with early detection, can we achieve a longer survival. And to make people aware of this early detection, it is going to need a lot of efforts, especially, since Indian society is so deep rooted in myths and alternative treatment and unusual illogical beliefs.
Women even during a normal health checkup don't worry about mammography / basic breast screening test. All this points to - CREATE AWARENESS - REMOVE SOCIAL TABOO - ENCOURAGE EARLY SCREENING - START TREATMENT AT STAGE 1 or 2 - DECREASE MORTALITY RATE. -Spread awareness & make the women go for screening at early age with no taboo attached. -Hold camps for early detection with the help of oncologists and trained nurses -Disseminate info through print & digital media - Support in treatment
The project will reach out to women from both urban and rural areas of the country and creates a society that fights against the life threatening disease by early detection and taking precautrionary measures.
