This kit enables partner cancer societies, hospitals, diagnostic centers, and NGOs to provide Niramai’s automated breast cancer screening service for  unlimited monthly screenings to triage population and identify patients with high suspicion of breast malignancy

Niramai has launched a new initiative in the October Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Now, community healthcare providers, NGOs and public health workers who are conducting health awareness talks can also perform screening camps in conjunction. This new initiative offers “Easy Launch Kits” for breast cancer screening as a special ‘Starter Kit’ for socially concerned organisations enabling them to provide accurate breast cancer screening services by spending just Rs 1000 per day.

This kit enables partner cancer societies, hospitals, diagnostic centers, and NGOs to provide Niramai’s automated breast cancer screening service for  unlimited monthly screenings to triage population and identify patients with high suspicion of breast malignancy. This limited period offer with bookings available until 31st October on ‘First come first serve basis’, will help screenings become accessible and affordable to more women.

Dr Geetha Manjunath, CEO & Founder, Niramai, said, “It is extremely crucial to encourage more and more women to get screened every year to enable early-stage detection and early treatment intervention which not only saves lives but also reduces treatment costs. Early-stage detection makes the person go back to normal life very soon. Since our test provides a “changing room” experience where nobody sees or touches the women during the test, we have so far received excellent feedback from both urban and rural women. There are many socially concerned organisations who actually have a similar mission of detecting cancer early, but they were unable to provide free screening services due to the exorbitant costs of hiring a mobile mammography van. With the launch of our Starter Kit, we are enabling a collaborative platform to make screenings accessible and scalable to save thousands of women. ”

With this launch, Niramai hopes to impact the lives of more women positively by encouraging them  to go for screenings  at their nearest diagnostic center, hospital or NGO.
