Empowering communities: twin cancer screening and awareness camps
The Ganga Prem Hospice and the Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute Research Centre health care teams collectively screened 312 individuals over two days for oral and gynaecological cancers in the industrial hubs of Uttarakhand. The team reached out to factory workers at their places of work and offered them the convenience of an essential health check-up at no cost to them and causing them no loss of worktime. The approach has encouraged many industries to welcome cancer screening initiatives at their factories and establishments.
