Bringing Cancer Awareness to Women in Perambalur
Cancer remains one of the leading health challenges in India, with early detection playing a crucial role in improving survival rates. Recognizing the need for proactive screening and awareness, **Harshamitra Cancer & Multi-Speciality Hospital, Trichy, actively conducts free cancer screening camps across Tamil Nadu. One such significant initiative was held in Perambalur, focusing on early detection and prevention of women’s cancers.
This screening camp, conducted in collaboration with IMA Woman Doctors Wing, Perambalur, and Dawn Trust, Perambalur, aimed at educating and empowering women about breast and cervical cancer. These two cancers account for a significant percentage of cancer-related deaths among women in India, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis.

“I was always hesitant about going for a health check-up, but this camp made it easy and comfortable. The doctors explained everything patiently, and I now understand the importance of early detection.”
