Breast Cancer Hub (BCH) Adopted Kumari village (an extremely interior, the India-Bangladesh border) and Huda Village (a tribal-dominated ) in Nadia District, WB, India, for door-to-door Cancer screening-awareness, Diagnosis, Treatment Management Aid and Counselling, taking care end-to-end after a series of groundwork in the area. Sharing the Data of the Number of families & individuals screened from Nov 15, 2022 - Jan 15, 2023 (Work in progress). We surveyed 84 Families and 122 Individuals in Huda and Kumari Villages. After conducting the community outreaches and creating the teams in August 2022 during my in-person fieldwork in the areas, as follow-ups, I am executing the overall supervision with close monitoring through WhatsApp calls & team zoom meetings. Our BCH field workers are Rimpa Biswas, Sima Basak, Ratna Basak, who are local residents of Kumari & Huda village. The overall Nadia project is under the supervision of Akhaya Mohanty and Sabarna Saraswati is the Field Project lead and directly supervises our Field workers for accuracy and transparency. We take the suspicious cases to the Duttapulia local hospital or other local hospitals providing free/subsidized treatment. After the preliminary screening, as needed, we will take the patients to Kolkata for further diagnosis and treatment if required or find other hospitals to treat the case locally. We received assurance from the local hospital doctor and nurse, that our patients will receive the subsidized treatment once we process the needed income health cards.
I am extremely thankful to Sreema Mahila Samity, for the support, that helped us reach the interiors of Kumari and Huda village, for the help and guidance.
With gratitude,
Dr Lopamudra Das Roy, (Principal Investigator of the project)
