The kit will enable screen the rural population
Niramai has launched ‘Easy Launch Kits’ for breast cancer screening as a special starter kit for socially concerned organisations enabling them to provide accurate breast cancer screening services by spending just Rs 1000 per day. The kit enables partner cancer societies, hospitals, diagnostic centres, and NGOs to provide Niramai’s automated breast cancer screening service for unlimited monthly screenings to triage the population and identify patients with high suspicion of breast malignancy. This limited period offer with bookings available until October 31, 2022, on a firs come first serve basis and will help screenings become accessible and affordable to more women.
With this launch, Niramai hopes to impact the lives of more women positively by encouraging them to go for screenings at their nearest diagnostic centre, hospital or NGO. Niramai has partnered with Apollo Clinics, HCG hospitals, Medall Diagnostics, Rainbow Hospital and Medanta and more, to provide the novel breast cancer screening solution in their facility as well as conduct outreach programmes in apartment complexes.
Dr Geetha Manjunath, CEO and Founder, Niramai, said, “It is crucial to encourage more and more women to get screened every year to enable early-stage detection and early treatment intervention which not only saves lives but also reduces treatment costs. Early-stage detection makes the person go back to normal life very soon. Since our test provides a “changing room” experience where nobody sees or touches the women during the test, we have so far received excellent feedback from both urban and rural women. Many socially concerned organisations have a similar mission of detecting cancer early, but they were unable to provide free screening services due to the exorbitant costs of hiring a mobile mammography van. With the launch of our Starter Kit, we are enabling a collaborative platform to make screenings accessible and scalable to save thousands of women.”
Niramai has also launched a free whatsapp chatbot for urban women on +91 94834 34444. This is a free “breast health help line” where women can ask any questions related to breast health and evaluate their risk of breast cancer using a validated machine-learning-based risk assessment service called an easy and user-friendly interface through Niramai’s ChatBot. This online assessment test takes only a few minutes and the results are provided within minutes.
