Delhi Trains Workers to Boost Early Cancer Detection

Delhi Trains Workers to Boost Early Cancer Detection

In Delhi, over 150 healthcare workers called ASHAs are learning how to spot early signs of cervical and breast cancer.

They'll be taught to help people get checked quickly and talk about cancer without fear.

Early detection is key, as it can greatly increase the chances of beating cancer.

The goal is to reach over a million people with cancer awareness and free screenings.

ASHAs will set up screening camps and use digital tools to keep track of progress, making sure the program helps as many people as possible.

Early treatment is easier and cheaper, and can help reduce cancer deaths.
