Breast Cancer Awareness, Sensitization, and Screening Camp in Pasarlapudi, Andhra Pradesh

Pasarlapudi, Andhra Pradesh: On January 7, 2026, a Free Breast Cancer Awareness and Screening Camp was successfully conducted in Pasarlapudi village, Andhra Pradesh, in collaboration with Pasarlapudi Rama Ganga Trust and Breast Cancer Hub (BCH).

100% free services were provided.
106 women and men screened.
All suspicious cases were followed up with ultrasound, with costs fully covered by the Trust.

I personally conducted Clinical Breast Examinations for all genders and simultaneously trained the local doctors, enabling parallel examinations and strengthening local capacity. Breast Self-Examination (BSE) education was delivered using prototype breast models, allowing villagers to practice hands-on and gain confidence in identifying abnormalities at home.

* Every family received Breast Self-Examination Cards (Her & Him) in Telugu, developed by BCH.
* Participants were also guided to download the BSE monthly reminder app via QR code, reinforcing long-term awareness and early detection.

I am deeply grateful to Bokka Prasanth Kumar for connecting me with his family-Bokka Gangadhara Rao, Bokka Lakshmi, and Dr. Bokka Anirudh Kumar, founders of The Pasarlapudi Rama Ganga Trust. This camp would not have been possible without the unwavering support, commitment, and generosity of the Bokka family. Words are not enough to express my gratitude.

To ensure continuity of care, my WhatsApp contact was shared with all participants for future concerns. Dr. Anirudh Kumar will continue to coordinate follow-ups, bridge Telugu–English communication, and ensure no suspicious case is left behind.

Heartfelt thanks to the incredible team whose dedication made this camp possible:
Dr. Anirudh Kumar, Dr. CH Anusha, Dr. Thota Kanaka Durga, Dr. Divya Priya Dharsini, Kommula V. Suryanarayan (MPHA), Vadlamannati Ramya (MLHP), G. V. R Kumari (MPHA), Korukonda Radha (MPHA), Kandregula Suryavathi (ASHA), Guttula Lakshmi (ASHA), Marlapudi Venkata Lakshmi (ASHA), Marlapudi Chilakamma (ASHA), Kotum Venkata Lakshmi (ASHA).

My sincere thanks to the Bokka family for their warm hospitality, accommodation, meals, and seamless logistics from Rajahmundry to Pasarlapudi-memories I will cherish forever.

And a special thank you to Sandeep Roy, my husband, for sponsoring my travel to India and Rajahmundry and for his constant support.

Early detection saves lives. Awareness empowers communities.
Together, we continue to bridge the gap-one village at a time.
