GSBS Medical Trust has been holding Cancer detection Camps for the past couple of months.

As Cancer detection is a lengthy process, each patient has to pass all FOUR stages of check up, so not more than 24 patients could be registered for a full day camp. It is an expensive one too.  Health Rakshak was able to conduct this as the relevant doctors and the equipment were available at the Centre.

The camp held on the 19^th of July had special significance because it was the Birth Centenary year of the Founder trustee of the Medical Trust, Dr. V. R. Prabhu. It was held for women above 40 years of age and screening of breast cancer, cervical cancer and oral cancer was carried out.

All three children of Late Dr. Prabhu, along with their spouses came to the Health Rakshak centre of GSBS Medical Trust. The elder son Dr. Suhas Prabhu, now the President of the Trust, recollected how difficult it was to bring up the Trust in the initial stages. Now the growth is taking place because of the strong foundation laid down by the then Trustees.

The younger son Mr. Jagannath Prabhu gave an instance how the good deeds of the father help the children to overcome some difficult situations because of the good will cultivated by the father. Dr. Prabhu, who was popularly known as “Áppu mam”, had more FREE patients than the paying patients.

The daughter Sushma Shenai recollected how she grew up under the protection of her father.

It was indeed a memorable occasion meeting the family of Late Dr. V. R. Prabhu, and an excellent way of commemorating the birth centenary year of their father. Similar programs will be held for the public good in the years to come.

We extend our deepest gratitude to all doctors for taking up the slot and examining the patients.  The camp ended by the evening.
