GenWorks Health introduces braster pro for breast screening & EVA for cervical screening in rural areas & communities
Rotary Club with its campaign called “Fighting Against Cancer” has been working hard to ensure that early detection and timely cure can protect women against Cancer. Spearheading a project titled Malar, GenWorks, a healthcare solutions provider partnered with Rotary Club to transform rural healthcare and support the cause of “Fighting Against Cancer.” GenWorks Health introduced Braster Pro – a portable breast screening and EVA – cervical screening device that are AI-enabled and cloud-connected to be operated by paramedical professionals in public health centres.
Project Malar was launched by Rotary International President Jennifer E Jones during her visit to India. To make this project a success, GenWorks provided Braster Pro to be sent to the government’s primary healthcare centers. The weekly average screening done using the equipment is around 25 to 35 patients and healthcare workers were able to detect abnormalities that arise in the screening at a very early stage of Breast and Cervical Cancer. Over a period of 6 months of use, around 1500 members were detected and over 3 per cent of patients were saved from abnormalities. These patients were further guided to the scan center with the support of Rotary Clubs in and around the screening area and there they were examined thoroughly using Mammography done with the support of Rotary Clubs.
GenWorks Health with the support of Rotary Club will offer educational programs in areas that raise awareness about breast cancer, the possible risk factors, and early detection.
S Ganesh Prasad, Founder MD & CEO, GenWorks said, “I think that improving breast cancer in rural communities requires a multi-faceted approach that addresses healthcare infrastructure, education, and cultural factors. The collaboration of GenWorks with Rotary has ensured that rural women get timely detection and are also able to prevent diseases such as Breast Cancer at the right time.”
