Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital partners with Karkinos Healthcare for cancer care

The community outreach programme will be conducted to screen 2,00,000 people for cancer in and across Mumbai

Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital has partnered with Karkinos Healthcare to promote early detection of cancer in Mumbai among the under-privileged communities. The community outreach programme will be conducted to screen 2,00,000 people for cancer in and across Mumbai, along with a managed cancer care delivery system. The screening services will be provided for free to the under-privileged communities under this initiative.

The initiative will provide access to potentially life-saving cancer Screening facilities to those belonging to economically backward categories, as they are the ones who need such facilities the most, due to a lack of awareness and funds for such tests. These tests can help detect specific types of cancer before signs and symptoms arise. The primary objectives of cancer screening are to save lives that are taken by cancer and to prevent cancer deaths altogether through early detection.

Given that Oncology is a key Centre of Excellence at Sir H N Reliance Foundation Hospital, the initiative comprises of screening people for different types of cancers such as oral cancer, breast cancer, cervix cancer, colorectal cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer. The target demographic will be those between the ages of 30 and 65 years.
