 Awareness Programme :-

When we realized that talking only to the patients about breast cancer was not enough and making the common people more aware of it was important, we initiated this programme.

Initially, doctor with a few patients visited offices, colleges, institutions to educate the masses about breast cancer. These sessions were interactive as the doctor asked the patients about their own story of the treatment and the recovery… making it more informative. Through such sessions we explained the people how early detection and appropriate treatment increases the survival chances by miles.

After offices and institutions, we targeted the local slum areas, small organizations in and around Pune to spread awareness. We gave them all the information there is to give about breast cancer, in a friendly and interactive manner.

In this way, we began our journey to educate the masses about breast cancer and tried our best to convince them that it is not  screening help is in the best interest of themselves and their families.

They are our bigger celebrities….
