Screening Camps
On 19th May 2018, we organised a Breast, Cervical & Oral Cancer awareness & screening camp in association with the Indian Cancer Society & Yuva Foundation. Held for the underprivileged women residing in the Bharat Nagar, Jawahar Nagar & Kherwadi localities of Bandra East, the camp was a huge success. With over 50 women from the underprivileged section of the society attending the camp was spearheaded by our Founders – Shomali Johri and Manju Mulchandani. The team from the Indian Cancer Society conducted tests under the supervision of Dr. Arohi Tasgaonkar & ENT Specialist Dr. Pradeep Sud. A few cases were referred to Tata Memorial Hospital for further investigation. Due follow up was performed by teams at LWF & Indian Cancer Society. The initiative was also covered by two local Marathi Newspapers – Pudhari & Tarun Bharat.
We held a camp on Breast, Cervical & Oral Cancer Awareness on 14 March 2019 at Kalamboli Navi Mumbai. Residents belonging to the weaker socio-economic strata, working in factories, transport & other domestic jobs attended the camp. Around 100 women were screened who had pre-registered with us. Mammography was done for 30 women who were in the 45+ age group or had any family history of breast cancer. The camp provided the women in need an opportunity to get screened for cancer.
