As part of the global Pink October campaign last month, Civil Hospital in Ahmedabad offered free mammography and sonography screenings to 297 women. This initiative focused on promoting early breast cancer detection and encouraging timely medical check-ups.
Following the initial screenings, 23 women were recommended for biopsies due to suspected abnormalities. Preliminary results from these biopsies have indicated two benign cases. Additionally, 18 women are currently undergoing further investigations to establish a precise diagnosis.
