Need of cancer awareness and screening
Educating people about cancer is the first step in addressing this problem. Regular camps and screening will help identify the affected population and increase awareness in society about such health challenges. Cancer, if detected early, can be cured.
There is a need to create awareness regarding cancer’s causes; many types of cancers are preventable. Most of the deaths occurring from cancer happen due to cancers being detected at an advanced stage. The awareness regarding symptoms helps us diagnose the disease at an early stage, giving us a fair chance to battle and cure it.
The foundation has acquired a state of the art screening equipment on a long lease which will enable us to conduct screening camps with more efficient results and reach more people in lesser time.
We organize screening camps for early cancer detection, educate, spread awareness and provide support and assistance to the needy.
