Summary

One woman dies of cervical cancer every 8 minutes in India. Breast cancer accounts for 27% of all cancers in them. Women in villages are vulnerable due to lack of awareness. Common cancers in women such as oral cavity, breast and cervix can be prevented and treated when detected early. In our successful model, by screening 13863 people in 560 screening camps, our mobile medical unit has identified 52 cancer patients who are getting treated. More lives can be saved by extending this program Important Notice about Projects in India: We expect that there will be significant delays in getting funds to this project due to new regulatory requirements that impact GlobalGiving's ability to disburse to Indian-banked organizations. GlobalGiving is working hard to address the issue, but there is a chance that we will be unable to disburse funds to this project. If we cannot disburse funds, donations to this project may be reallocated to another organization per our terms and conditions.
