Women living with HIV (WLHIV) face a significantly elevated risk of developing cervical cancer compared to those not infected with HIV.
Addressing the healthcare needs of marginalized communities demands a multifaceted approach, one that encompasses both medical interventions and systemic reforms.
With the optimum use of technology, we at Karkinos Healthcare and IVDP are confident that such targeted community cancer screening programmes will bring about a marked decrease in the cancer incidence and burden observed in India.
When carried out on a big scale, innovative cancer prevention and care programmes will ultimately bring about the necessary cultural shift in healthcare practices and move our nation closer to reducing cancer rates in the future.
Promoting cancer prevention among women prisoners in Madhya Pradesh was one of the pioneering cancer screening programmes that VCCF and Karkinos Healthcare had initiated upon. This blog is a walk through of the initiative.
The cancer screening programme was created to incorporate awareness and to use the programme to explain the benefits of group insurance products, ensuring that women felt reassured about the coverage of treatment costs if necessary. This was done in recognition of these misconceptions and their addiction to tobacco.
