Assam Doctor Receives Patent for Breast Cancer Detection Model

Imagine a doctor in Assam created a special tool to help women find breast cancer early.

This tool is a model that helps teach women how to check their own breasts.

The doctor, Dr. Gogoi, realized many women don't know how to check themselves and that mammograms can be expensive.

Her model uses simple, cheap, and safe materials to show women the right way.

Health workers will use this model to train others, like community health workers, who will then show women how to do it.

This helps catch problems early, as breast cancer is a big problem in India and around the world.
