The Essence Of the Initiative!!
It's Amazing When dreams come true! But it is mesmerizing and heartwarming when your dream inspires courage, awareness, and hope in people who fight against all odds for at least a near normal life in the society!We at Dixit Hospital & hArshAi IVF center are honored and extremely fortunate to have been able to put together a Cancer Awareness Initiative, the aim of which was not only to support cancer patients fight the pain but also to create awareness among the society regarding the need for opportunities and strength we need to step forward with to help cancer patients feel a part of the society!
”“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen” Winston Churchill
How It All began – The Root Of the Event?
Thoughts constantly hums in our minds, but When someone gives it a voice, is when it becomes a clear vision!Inner Wheel Club Of Vapi approached us with an idea of conducting a free camp for early detection of breast cancer with the introduction of a new, advanced and safe technology called the breast light.We also conducted Bone Mineral Density and Hemogram for all.
Camp Days – 10th/11th/12th February 2019
Fruits Reaped! Safe
Breast light along with clinical palpation helps in becoming a diagnostic tool for early detection of breast cancer.The Camp saw around 500 women from Vapi turn up for the camp.Around 4 women were tested positive for further investigations and we could help women start with necessary nutrients for anaemia and bone osteoporosis.
