PROPOSED GLOBAL GRANT PROJECT
GRANT TITLE- MAMMOGRAPHY CUM MEDICAL VAN
Project overview- India is a developing country and Faridabad is an industrial town in the vicinity of the national capital-new Delhi. Faridabad and Palwal are two districts in Haryana with 426 villages & 3.1 million populations. There are many slum areas in Faridabad and industries where mostly female employees are working. Breast cancer cases are found to be spiraling world over and India is no exception. India’s health profile predicted that by 2020 breast cancer will overtake cervical cancer as the most common type of cancer among women in India and number to go high as 1,797,900. Early detection and screening is the backbone of treatment. Mammography plays a central part in early detection of breast cancer. The use of screening mammography increases the chances of detection of small abnormal tissue growths confined in the breast which may otherwise be not detected on physical examination. Early recognizing of cancer by screening and awareness is a big tool to reduce mortality due to cancer. In India most of the women in rural areas are not at par with men as far as preventive checkups are concerned and due to illiteracy and lack of awareness about the early diagnosis of the cancer and hence delay in its early detection and proper treatment. Most of the patients report to the hospital at the advance stage and hence we lose the chance to cure. Keeping these things in mind, the members of rotary club decided to provide a mobile mammography unit which will have facilities of mammography (for early detection of breast cancer), facilities to take Pap smear (screening of early detection of cancer of cervix) and potable x-ray machine. This mobile van will go to the villages, slums and urban areas where there are no facilities for these investigations. Our target area is Faridabad and Palwal districts. We will also cover offices and industries where most of the employees are females and due to scarcity of the time they postpone the preventive checkups.
