MBAAP

RC Medicrew, in collaboration with Wadia Hospital, Jankalyan Yojna, and Vasti Parivartan, conducted a monumental Breast Cancer Screening and Awareness campaign named MBAAP- Mata Balak Aarogya Prakalp initiative. Focusing on underserved areas, this initiative reached 36 slums of Mumbai, providing essential screenings and education to 200-250 women over a period of three months. The project aimed to combat the rising prevalence of breast cancer in India by raising awareness about affordable diagnostic services and government welfare schemes like 'Jankalyan' for women. It empowered household ladies with knowledge on self-diagnosis techniques for detecting breast lumps and signs of cancer, emphasizing regular self-exams and recognizing warning signs. The driving force behind the initiative comprised a dedicated team of over 80 volunteers, including MBBS, BDS, BPTH, and allied health students from Medicrew. These volunteers conducted screenings, provided education on breast health, and referred women for further infra-red thermal imaging. In addition to the medical students, experienced doctors accompanied the initiative, overseeing mobile screening units housed in ambulances. These units were equipped with specialized equipment, including X-ray and thermal imaging technology which was all free of cost for our beneficiaries.
