Taking a few moments to focus on our health today can be an important step towards a healthier tomorrow.
As part of Project Sunkalp, a cancer screening camp was conducted at Zameen Endathur Primary Health Centre (PHC), Madurantakam, bringing preventive healthcare and early detection services closer to the local community.
A total of 37 beneficiaries participated in the screening, including 6 men and 31 women.
The camp provided:
28 iBreast Examinations
36 Oral Examinations
0 Pap Smear Tests
One positive screening finding was identified in the gynaecological category. The individual requires appropriate medical consultation and follow-up for further evaluation.
The participation of 31 women highlights the importance of making breast cancer screening accessible within the community. The camp also emphasised the importance of oral cancer screening and regular preventive healthcare for both men and women.
Cancer may not always show noticeable warning signs in its early stages. Regular screening can help identify suspicious changes and encourage timely medical consultation and follow-up.
For many communities, accessing specialised healthcare can be challenging due to distance, cost, time, or limited awareness. Project Sunkalp works to reduce these barriers by bringing cancer screening services closer to people through local healthcare facilities and community-based camps.
Through Project Sunkalp, Kalpavriksham Trust continues to work with PHCs, local communities, healthcare professionals, and CSR partners to expand access to cancer screening across Madurantakam.
Kalpavriksham Trust is registered under 12AB, 80G, and CSR-1 (MCA) and is listed on NGO Darpan, with transparent camp-wise impact reporting for CSR partnerships.
