In India, changing lifestyle has led to a sharp increase in the incidence of Breast Cancer. And unfortunately, most women see a doctor when the cancer has already reached an advanced stage. Due to late diagnosis, mortality rate on account of Breast Cancer is very high in India.The only way to save the unfortunate victims is to detect the disease early,  recommends Mammography every year after the age of 40.

To propagate awareness about breast cancer and to encourage women to get them checked regularly, the Social Service Department and NGO ‘Helping Hand” have started a unique initiative that “ If women won’t go to the hospital, let us get the hospital to them”
