Breast Self Awareness Workshop in Association with the Inner Wheel Club of Greater NOIDA

On 12th August, 2009, Dr Natasha Das conducted a breast self awareness workshop at Kailash Hospital, Greater NOIDA. This workshop was conducted under the banner of the I CAN WIN association with cooperation from the Inner Wheel Club of Green Greater NOIDA.



Mrs Vibha Rastogi, the President of the Inner Wheel Club of Green Greater NOIDA, was very enthusiastic about conducting a breast self examination workshop for her club members ever since she read about this initiative by Dr Natasha and Dr Anita in the Times of India. She met Dr Sanil Kapoor of Kailash Hospital with a hope to be able to use their lecture hall for the workshop. Dr Kapoor made sure the nurses in his hospital also attended the workshop.




During her workshop about how to conduct a self examination of the breast, Dr Natasha pointed out that a reminder system would be helpful to make sure a monthly BSE becomes a habit with the ladies. Out of the 15 ladies who attended the workshop, 13 have signed up for the regular reminders about cancer awareness.




I CAN WIN association has agreed to help Dr Natasha send reminders for breast self examination through different media such as SMS, emails, newsletters, and home visits by volunteers. People who wish to receive a reminder for regular cancer screening procedures such as a monthly breast self examination, may please write to icanwinassociation@gmail.com or natdas@gmail.com
