Counseling

We conduct regular counseling sessions with the help of models, figures, charts, videos-counselling. This definitely boosts patient's moral in helping her to overcome her mental instability, to clear myths, to tackle emotional ups and down, side effect of various types of treatment like surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, need of wigs, breast prosthesis, diet etc.

Creating awareness

•  We have produced a documentary film called "Jhijhak Kaisi". Through this documentary, a message is given that since there is no known cause for breast cancer, early diagnosis improves prognosis.
•  We have directed a street play called "Mahsus"
•  We have written a patient information booklet in Hindi called "Sandeh, Sangharsh, Muktata".

80% women can live up to 80 years of age if diagnosed and treated early as quoted by Dr. Rajendra Badwe HOD, Director Tata Cancer Hospital Mumbai. Not to prolong or postpone breast check up for fear, misunderstanding, expenditure.

Providing services to the needy

We have future plans to collect funds in MAI account through various activities such as selling wigs, breast prosthesis, donation etc. for financially challenged people in our society.
