LUDHIANA (HS KITTY) Over the course of three days, more than 300 women benefited from breast cancer screenings facilitated by the innovative thermolytix imaging technology. Continuing the momentum of World Cancer Day, a complimentary breast cancer screening camp was organized at both CMC Ludhiana’s Gurbachan Memorial Hospital in Lalton Kalan and CMC’s Urban Health Center in Jamalpur, extending accessibility to multiple communities.
CMC’s Gurbachan Memorial Hospital has been a pillar of community service for several decades, offering essential services such as physiotherapy, general medicine, and emergency care. With the escalating prevalence of non-communicable diseases, there has been a resounding call within the community for initiatives like cancer screening camps. Late diagnosis remains a significant concern for women with cancer, emphasizing the critical need for awareness-building, stigma reduction, and the provision of advanced technology.
Distinguished guests, including local community organizers, leaders, and sarpanches from neighboring villages, graced the event. Shrimati Sukhwant Kaur of Lalton Kalan inaugurated the camp, underscoring the collaborative efforts between healthcare professionals and the community. Notable figures such as Rev A. Roger, Hospital Chaplain, Dr. Sandeep Saini, Principal of the College of Physiotherapy, and Dr. Clarence J. Samuel, were present to show their support and highlight the importance of early detection in saving lives.
Dr. M. E. Sumeire, Senior Resident and Incharge of CMC’s Gurbachan Memorial Hospital, played a pivotal role as the chief coordinator, supported by a dedicated team of healthcare professionals including Dr. Jasmandeep Kaur, Mrs. Gurpreet Kaur, Mrs. Ranjit Joseph, Mrs. Charanjeet, Mr. Satish, and others.
At CMC’s Jamalpur Center, the camp was expertly coordinated by Dr. Parminder Pal Kaur, along with Mrs. Harinder Kaur, Mrs. Harbajan Kaur, Mrs. Manjit Kaur, and Mr. Tejinder Singh, demonstrating a unified commitment to community health.
Dr. Clarence J. Samuel, Professor and Head of Community Medicine, reiterated the department’s steadfast dedication.
