GSBS Medical Trust had organised this 19th bi monthly “Cancer detection camp for women above the age of 40″, on the 13th of March 2023 at the Health Rakshak centre. This 8-hour camp can examine only 24 patients as this is a time consuming examination camp.

Each patient has to undergo four stages of examination for the different types of cancers viz. breast cancer, cervical cancer and oral cancer. The first stage was the dental examination to detect if any oral cancer symptoms are present. Dr. Vikas Gupta, Dr. Swati Satpute, Dr. Pratik Satpute and Dr. Ankita Ghule happily did this job. Second stage of examination was the gynaecological examination and pap smear, which was done by Dr. Mira Naik. Mammography which is an important checkup for the detection of breast cancer was done by the technicians and later on followed up by Dr. Gauri Amonkar.

Thanks to N K G S B Bank for sponsoring this event. Health Rakshak was lucky to receive Mr. Vinay Rao, AGM of the Bank. Mr. Rao was amazed to see all necessary equipment needed for the full diagnosis of the patients. He was also surprised to know that patients get appointments for their check-up. Smt. Gita Pai, Trustee, thanked Mr. Vinay Rao for gracing the occasion.

The staff of the Health Rakshak were specially thanked for organising the camp meticulously
