Kolkata: Medella
Karkinos Oncology Institute joined the global movement for breast cancer
awareness by organizing a free Breast Cancer Screening Program and an Awareness
Session under the “Pinktober-Awareness
Saves Lives” initiative at its hospital premises. The month-long campaign
emphasizes a vital message: Breast
Cancer Awareness & Early Detection Saves Lives.
More than 100 people from
various walks of life attended the screening camp and joined the awareness
initiative. The screening program aimed to raise awareness about preventive
measures, the importance of early detection, and the need for timely treatment
to reduce the burden of cancer. It also encouraged women to undergo regular
cancer screening, as early diagnosis plays a critical role in improving
treatment outcomes and survival rates.
Dr.
Akther Jawade, Director East, Karkinos Healthcare said, “Breast cancer
is one of the most common cancers affecting women today, but the good news is
that it is highly treatable when detected early. Advancements in medical
science have made significant progress in improving survival rates and quality
of life for patients. Early detection plays a vital role in the fight against
breast cancers. If diagnosed at the right stage, many cases can be managed
effectively with timely treatment. Awareness and regular screening are our best
tools to save lives. Every woman should make breast self-examination and
regular screening a priority.”
Dr.
Akther Jawade added, “Through initiatives like free Cancer Screening
Programs, our hospital continues to reach out to communities across different
parts of West Bengal, spreading awareness on early cancer detection and
accessible cancer care. The hospital’s expert oncologists, advanced diagnostic
facilities and state-of-the-art technology ensure comprehensive treatment for
patients. We remain committed to making quality cancer care available and
accessible to all, and continue to lead initiatives that empower individuals
with knowledge and encourage proactive health practices.”
Beyond hospital-based
initiatives, Medella Karkinos Oncology Institute has been actively conducting
awareness drives and cancer screening camps in rural and semi-urban areas of
North 24 Parganas, Hooghly, Nadia and neighboring districts. Timely detection
through these camps has enabled many patients to begin treatment at an early
stage, improving both survival and recovery.
