March 17, 2023 - BCH Team Visit to patient home
One of the missions of Breast Cancer Hub-adopted villages in remote areas is patients' follow-up and counseling along with treatment guidance. BCH Team visiting a Cancer Patient home on March 17, 2024. We execute Door-to-door cancer screening, treatment management, Aid, support, and counseling. Breast Cancer Hub (BCH) adopted 17 villages, in Cachar, Assam, screened more than 20,000 villagers from Feb 2020 to Nov 2023, taking care end to end.
During our door-to-door screening, we take the suspicious cases to Cachar Cancer Hospital, or Silchar Medical College, for further screening, diagnosis, and treatment. The hospitals provide treatment at subsidized rates under the government-aided schemes & we are thankful for their services but the remaining treatment expenses, BCH covers. The villagers are daily wage earners living a hand-to-mouth existence without any savings. On many occasions, there is no one in the family to accompany the patient to the hospital, eventually delaying or skipping treatment. BCH team takes care end to end, starting from providing transport, purchasing medicines, diagnostic tests, that are not covered under the government schemes. BCH team assists the patients by taking them to the hospital, helping with income certificate, AAA card, hospital registration, patient communication with the doctor, accompanying them in the full diagnosis process, providing treatment aid, dropping them home with follow-ups & counseling.
The 17 Villages BCH adopted since February 2020: Sundari Part-II, Sundari Part-III , Sundari Part-IV, Boalihaor, Sentcatherine , Sundari-I, Bidruhipar, Boali Haor, Bhaurikhandi-I , Bhaurikhandi-II, Dharamkhal Division area of Silcoorie Tea Estate, Bhorakhai divisions of Silcoorie Tea Eastate, Durgakona Division , Silcoorie Division of Silcoorie Tea Estate, Kochudorom- I, Kochudorom- IV.
