Breast Cancer Hub (BCH) adopted Huda Village, Nadia, WB, since November 2022: In addition to our online zoom meetings or WhatsApp calls with the Breast Cancer Hub (BCH) Nadia Team, I do my field visits as follow-ups to understand the challenges our teams and villagers might be facing. BCH local team made great efforts to organize the meeting, where I reiterated the message of Cancer screening again, in addition to explaining through the prototype breast model, and making the villagers examine the model so that it becomes easier to identify lumps while they perform their own Breast self-exam. We adopted Huda Village in November 2022, and I was delighted to meet the enthusiastic villagers and our dedicated team again on 24 June 2023. Huda village is a tribal community and we adopted the village for door-to-door Cancer screening awareness, Diagnosis, Treatment Management Aid and Counselling, taking care end-to-end.
I am extremely thankful to Sreema Mahila Samity, for the continued help and support. A huge shout-out to Our BCH field workers Sima Basak, Ratna Basak, Rimpa Biswas, who are local residents of Huda & Kumari villages. The Nadia project is also supervised by Akhaya Mohanty and Sabarna Saraswati who is the Field Project lead and directly supervises our Field workers for accuracy and transparency. We take the suspicious cases to the Krishnanagar District Hospital, Duttapulia local hospital or other local hospitals providing free/subsidized treatment. After the preliminary screening, as needed, we will take the patients to Kolkata for further diagnosis and treatment if required or find other hospitals to treat the case locally. We received assurance from the local hospital doctor and nurse, that our patients will receive the subsidized treatment once we process the needed income health cards.
A sincere thanks to Akhaya Mohanty, for helping throughout the Kolkata & Nadia outreach. Thank you St. Johns Medical College Hospital Based Cancer Registry for giving me the Breast Model.
BCH team takes care end to end, from providing transport, to purchasing medicines, and diagnostic tests, which are not covered under the government schemes. BCH team assists the patients by taking them to the hospital, helping with generating income certificates, Government health cards, hospital registration, patient communication with the doctor, accompanying them in the full diagnosis process, buying necessary medicines, and dropping them home with follow-ups & counseling. BCH provides treatment aid to the poor and underprivileged. We take accountability for each case, helping them from beginning to end.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Dr Lopamudra Das Roy (Founder - President)
