GSBS Medical Trust conducted a cancer screening camp for women above the age of 40 on the 9^th of May. This camp was sponsored by Dr. Niranjani Nayak and Mr. Vishwanath Acharya, the siblings of Late Kamalakshi and Late Janardhan Acharya in whose memory this programme was held.

It is heartening to see that there is so much awareness on Breast Cancer that women come forward to register their names for screening. Each patient is educated on this subject and also are shown videos to give them more knowledge on the subject. This is a regularly conducted camp for women above the age of 40 – for the screening of breast cancer, cervical cancer and oral cancer. As this camp is a time consuming one, for a full day camp, only 24 patients are registered. Each one has to pass through FOUR different stages of check up and finally after the results, the doctors examine if further examination is required.

Thanks to all the doctors who attend this camp to examine the patients viz. Dr. Meena Kumari (gynaecologist), Dr. Shirly Limaye (Dentist), Dr. Ritesh Dalvi (Radiologist).  Special thanks to all staff members of GSBS Medical Trust’s Health Rakshak Unit.

Thanks to Dr. Niranjani Nayak for sponsoring this Camp. She could also take some time to visit the Centre.  Smt. Gita Pai (Trustee, GSBS Medical Trust) profusely thanked her and accompanied her to meet the patients and also the staff members. Dr. Nayak appreciated the systems followed for the whole camp.
