On this year’s International Women’s Day, I urge everyone to Embrace Equity, give a woman a fair chance to live a quality life. It’s also important that women make a pledge to take proactive steps about self-care by consulting a doctor periodically for screening. Canceling cancer starts with you. Participate in this moonshot!
On this year’s International Women’s Day, I would like to proudly admit that as a woman I feel honored to be in the position to empower women with the knowledge about cancer prevention and equally proud of all the women who have joined hands in support to fight cancer.
This strategic partnership will lay the groundwork for systematic screening for common cancers in Chennai.
Police women, participating in the screening program, had access to scientifically advanced cancer diagnostics including the Gold Standard HPV test.
Early cancer detection saves lives. And to early detect cancer, these days digital technology has been extensively used. Right from Point of Care (PoC) devices to designing data-backed personalized treatment protocols to telemedicine, technology is helping bridge several gaps in delivering quality care.
Unlike most cancers, Colorectal Cancer is mostly preventable on screening and is highly treatable, but only when detected early. Hence, it is necessary for the general public to be aware of the early warning signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer and contact the concerned specialist for early detection of cancerous or pre-cancerous conditions for timely surgical interventions and for better prognosis.
It is the 4th of March –– the INTERNATIONAL HPV AWARENESS DAY. On this day organizations like Karkinos Healthcare create awareness on the dangers of the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes cervical cancer and the importance of vaccination.
While the Covid-19 pandemic continues to stress hospital systems, Karkinos Healthcare’s proprietary distributed cancer care network envisages the use of digital technology and resource distribution to provide highest quality care closest to the patient’s home.
The partnership with Westminster Hospital further strengthens our intent to address the cancer burden in citizens across Chennai and Tamil Nadu, especially for those who might otherwise be unable to receive these life-saving facilities.
The joint initiative will provide access to potentially life-saving Cancer Screening facilities to those belonging to economically backward categories, as they are the ones who need such facilities the most, due to a lack of awareness and funds for such tests.
