This Women Surakshaa healthcare package will encourage women to come forward and get their health condition assessed, and seek right treatment, if necessary.”

Covid-19 pandemic has shifted our focus away from more serious and impending ailments like the cancer diseases. Some of the cancers that most often affect women are breast, colorectal, endometrial, lung, cervical, skin, and ovarian cancers. Knowing about these cancers and what you can do to help prevent them or find them early (when they are small, haven't spread, and might be easier to treat) will help save lives.
