Cancer Awareness and Prevention
At least one in a family is a victim of cancer disease. Unfortunately India tops the chart with number of patients at critical stages of breast cancer and cervical cancer. “If the woman is healthy then the house will be safe and the society will flourish”, is the motive of VT Seva. With this mission, VT Seva started Women Health Care Project – Mahila Arogya Vikas in 2007 .
Since, then more than 1200+ free camps, 250,000+VIA Cancer tests, 6379 + biopsies, 219+ breast surgeries were conducted, bringing awareness to more than 1.2 M women.
VT Seva is providing services to the society in a subtle manner by avoiding the usage of the word ‘cancer’, as it scares the locals.
Mahila Arogya Vikas is conducting camps in remote villages in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Delhi, Tamilnadu and Maharastra states. The free camps are giving second life to many women. 150 to 170 women are screened in each camp. Free medicines are provided to each patient for treatment.
