Breast Cancer Awareness Camp in Borakhai tea-garden, Cachar, Assam

It was great meeting the enthusiastic women & men from rural India who were so eager to learn & accept the concept of early detection. Starting from Breast Self Exam cards, to preventative measures about lifestyle, tobacco etc was discussed. We had 0% knowledge about Breast screening but post session, we had 100% assurance from the women that they will perform BSE and attend doctor immediately if a lump or other symptoms are detected. Thank you Dr Shirtaz Laskar for connecting me to Mrs Sanalembi Devi Sinha from Purva Bharati Educational Trust, who helped organize a camp in Bhorakhai, in Cachar, Assam. Thanks to Mrs.Sanalembi for her initiative and I was amazed by the outstanding work done by Mrs. Sanalembi towards the community with respect to girl child education and other vital areas
