Cancer Screening Van Launched for Indian Women
8 Dec
Summary
- A new screening van supports early breast and cervical cancer diagnosis.
- The vehicle is equipped with mammography and lab testing facilities.
- India Yamaha Motor Pvt Ltd donated the van as part of CSR.
A dedicated mobile screening van has been launched to facilitate early detection of breast and cervical cancers, two prevalent cancers affecting women in India. This initiative is particularly targeted towards regions with limited access to diagnostic services, officials stated.
The van is outfitted with comprehensive medical equipment, including an X-ray unit, mammography, colposcopy setup, and laboratory testing capabilities, along with dedicated patient examination spaces. This mobile unit significantly expands the reach of GIMS Greater Noida's cancer screening services beyond the hospital's premises.
India Yamaha Motor Pvt Ltd provided the donation as part of its corporate social responsibility efforts. The mobile unit is set to commence outreach visits to identified high-need areas within the district soon, aiming to bridge gaps in preventive healthcare access and empower individuals through timely diagnosis.
