Cancer Awareness & Detection camps for women

3 February, 2025

Dear All

Indeed it was a privilege to attend the webinar on 30 January 2025. The webinar is very useful for our work in India. [*see note 1 below]

In India Breast and Cervical cancer patients are highest in the world in Low Middle Income Group Women

It will be our pleasure to engage with HIFA Projects.

Our Institute is working under the 'Peace Through Health' project "Cancer Awareness and Detection Camps for Low Middle Income Group Women". Our Institute's Secretary General Dr Nalini Kurvey is MD (Gynaecologist & Obstetrician) and for the last 45 years she runs her Maternity & Nursing Home in Nagpur, India. She is also Vice-President of Association of Medical Women in India, Some time I help her in hospital administration

It has come to our notice that women from Low Middle Income group women visit doctors in the 2nd or 3rd state of Cancer and it is difficult to save the patients. In our limited capacity, we are arranging Awareness and detention camps. We like to reach maximum women.

We are eager to reach out to 4500 women in 3 years. We will arrange camps in their locality and villages. under Peace Through Health Project.

If HIFA can guide us we will join the HIFA project. Please give me some advice.
