Training of CRUSADERS against Cancer, kannur
“Training of Crusaders Against Cancer” organized by Lions Club international, Breast Cancer Hub, Calicut Obstetrics & Gynaecology Society, in association with MALABAR CANCER CARE SOCIETY, Kannur, June 20, 2023. Thank you for inviting me as the Mentor, and honored to meet the Chief Guest Dr. Sudhir P, and the esteemed guests and participants.
Message from Dr Avni Skandhan, President of Lions Club of Kozhikode Nanma, Lions District 318E. Senior & Lead Radiologist and Head of the Dept of Radiology, Aster MIMS Kottakkal, Kerala:
“The concept behind the program is, every Lion is a self-motivated and driven member of society and thus with appropriate training is possibly a wonderful touch point to society, able to guide, screen and interact with the population they already interact with, for the purpose of other social activities. In this way our district 318E can develop our own pool of Lions Crusaders Against Cancer who can join with great organizations like Malabar Cancer Society & Breast Cancer Hub, who are already doing amazing work for the society.
This program was conducted by Lions District 318E, under the auspices of then District Governor, Lion Dr P Sudhir PMJF and under the able guidance of Lion Dr Suchitra Sudhir PMJF and First lady and Past District Governor. The program was the brain child of Lion Dr Avni Skandhan MJF, then President of Lions Club of Kozhikode Nanma, who conceptualized and conceived the name of the program. The program was born out of her steady interactions and motivation with Dr Lopamudra Das, who was a major inspiration for the project. The program has been blessed by the presence, support and guidance of Malabar Cancer Society and their team of amazing leaders - D Krishnanandha Pai Sir who guided us with his ideas and presence and was happy to join hands for a cause he had been passionate about since decades. His team of Dr V C Ravidnran sir, Dr Harsha and Dr Deepthi supported the cause by participating and taking sessions for all. In Kannur over 80 people were trained”.
