Granules India unveils ‘Breast Health Express’ mobile unit

Granules India unveiled its Mobile Cancer Screening Unit at AIG Hospitals. This initiative, spearheaded by the Granules Trust in partnership with Asian Medical Foundation, UC Breast Foundation and AIG Hospitals aims to enhance cancer detection and treatment in underserved communities. 

The mobile unit “Breast Health Express” aims to bring advanced medical technology directly to communities in need. Equipped with mammography and ultrasound capabilities, as well as facilities for essential health checks such as haemoglobin, blood pressure, and glucose levels, this mobile clinic marks a major advancement in equitable and accessible healthcare. By offering these critical services and free medicine distribution, the initiative seeks to increase cancer screening, with a particular emphasis on early breast cancer detection. 

Timed to coincide with Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, the Breast Health Express aligns with the global focus on breast cancer prevention and early detection. The mobile unit is set to commence operations in and around Hyderabad, with plans to expand to additional districts of Telangana in the coming months.
