P. D. Hinduja Hospital launched a breast cancer screening camp for Mumbai’s policewomen, promoting health equity and early detection. Organized to coincide with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, at the Additional Commissioners Office in Byculla.
About 60 percent of breast cancer cases in India are detected at advanced stages. With breast cancer Cases increasing among younger women, nearly 36 percent of diagnoses are in women under the age of 50.
Police officers often face significant stress, irregular hours, and physically demanding work environments. For Mumbai’s women police officers, these challenges are compounded by the responsibilities of family and home. The initiative underscores the hospital's recognition of these unique demands and its commitment to providing targeted support to this group.
The hospital plans to expand its preventive healthcare services. P. D. Hinduja Hospital’s initiative represents a proactive approach that prioritizes the health of those who serve others.
