A two-day workshop was organised for the orientation of staff of Roshni Clinic on testing and management of cancer. Tests will be carried out to detect breast cancer and cervical cancer in all the districts of the State.
MP’s National Health Mission Director Kiran Gopal Rao said that State government making al out efforts to improve the health conditions of the women in the State. Some of the women who were tested during the health camps were found with signs of cancer. Their tests, treatment, referral and management of the cases are the primary motive behind these camps, he added. He said that if the cancer is detected in women at early stage, it could be prevented from becoming threat to life.
The Deputy Director of Maternal Health Dr Archana Mishra said that even today many families do not consider female health as primary. This is the reason the State government has made it its duty to give importance to women’s health. Women’s Health camps and Roshni Clinic are its evidence.
Through the health camps one thing that has come into notice is that whether it is rural or urban area the negligence towards female health is similar. Deputy Director of Non-Communicable Diseases Control Programme Pramod Chandra said that to control cancer, diabetes and strokes, NCD Clinic has been established in all the districts. The Squad of Roshni Clinic will get all the support from NCD Clinic in the testing and management of Cancer.
Notably, under the Gram Uday se Bharta Uday scheme many women health camps were organised and they were tested for cancer. To manage the cancer detected patients the orientation workshop is being organised by the government for Roshni Clinic staff at district level. Rosh organization will provide technical support in the camps.
