Why Need Camps in Rural India
With the increase in number of cancer cases in India, the number of Cancer Centres
with excellent infrastructure and trained Doctors is also increasing in urban India.
However the same is not true about rural India. This is reflected in the fact that,
Nearly 70% of Indian population lives in rural India. However, nearly 95% of cancer care
facilities are in urban India. Thus, though the incidence of cancer in rural India is nearly
half of that of urban India, the mortality rates are double. If cancer care facilities have
to be improved in rural, more Camps have to be developed in the smaller cities and in rural
India.
There are no any cancer awareness, early detection and early diagnosis in rural regions.
Even the majority of people unaware form Cancer Early Symptom. By the time, the patient
can arrange the logistics to go to cities for diagnosis and Treatment; it causes further
delays in treatment and advancement of the disease. All this leads to the vicious cycle:
Because these patients come with advanced disease, the outcomes are poor; and because of
poor outcomes, other rural patients are not motivated to take proper treatment on time.
If this vicious cycle is to be broken and cancer awareness, early detection has to be
organize for the rural patients at their doorsteps, in their familiar environment then
survivor rate can be improved.
Another reason why Cancer not timely diagnoses because Cancer Diagnoses is becoming more
expensive day by day, the series of expensive investigation are out-of-pocket from patients.
It would be very important to organize free cancer screening program through mobile campaign
in rural area, so that patients getting the highest quality of cancer care at their door step.
We all wants to win the cancer war however it cannot possible by any alone, we need your kind of support how help
us time to time so that we focus on creating cancer awareness and prevention. Simple cost-effective methods have
been developed for early detection and Cancer Awareness.
Why Early detection is Important
Early detection of cancer greatly increases the chances for successful treatment.
There are two major components of early detection of cancer: education to promote early
diagnosis and screening.Recognizing possible warning signs of cancer and taking prompt
action leads to early diagnosis. Increased awareness of possible warning signs of cancer,
among physicians, nurses and other health care providers as well as among the general public,
can have a great impact on the disease. Some early signs of cancer include lumps, sores that
fail to heal, abnormal bleeding, persistent indigestion, and chronic hoarseness. Early
diagnosis is particularly relevant for cancers of the breast, cervix, mouth, Prostate,
Oesophageal and Oral.
