• Camp was conducted at Dhanvantari clinic run by an Ayurvedic doctor. This is helping the team to follow up women who attended the camp
• 66 women registered for the camp and 51 women attended the camp
• Cervical cancer and breast cancer screening could be done in a private space.
• Breast cancer screening was done using Niramai technology as described in our earlier report. Women who underwent the test got the report instantly.
• 70% of women who attended the camp were identified to have moderate and severe anemia. These women are being followed up and are getting treated.
• 4 women were found to have high blood sugar
• 6 women were found to have high blood pressure

In this camp we provided general check-up, screening for anemia, screening for diabetes, cervical and breast cancer screening was done using PAP test and Niramai technology.

3 rounds of awareness program was conducted at the clinic and around 60 to 70 women attended the awareness program where they were educated about cervical and breast cancer, symptoms and tests being done at the camp. Around 180 to 200 women were reached with information. Awareness program was conducted 2 to 3 days prior to the camp.

Of the 51 women who attended the camp.

• 14 women were found to have normal hb values
• 30 women were found to have moderate anemia
• 7 women were found to have severe anemia

As per the data available from National health survey, prevalence of anemia in India between 2019 and 2021, is 57%. Our data from the camp shows anemia presence of 70% among the women who attended the camp.

All the 37 women with anemia did not report any symptom of medical condition that could result in anemia. So it was considered due to nutritional deficiency and they were informed about nutritious food.

All women with moderate anemia were treated with deworming and iron and folic acid supplementation for a period of 3 months and were requested to come back for follow up after 3 months for repeat Hb testing to see if there was any improvement.

All women with severe anemia were referred for Iron sucrose injections. The ayurvedic doctor where cam was conducted and the Cancer care India teams are helping women to get these injections in the prescribed dose and they are being followed up.

Cervical cancer screening:
All the 51 women underwent pap test and we did not find anyone with infection or a suspected malignant report

Breast cancer screening:
This was done using Nirmai technology. Niramai technology gives breast health scores. The risk score, is calculated using AI-powered analysis of thermal images automatically. This score helps to identify individuals at higher risk of breast cancer and guide further action. This combines BI-RADS categories with a risk score to help healthcare professionals determine the best course of action for each individual.

The risk score is mainly derived from two sub-scores namely, vascular score and hotspot score. A hotspot score signifies the abnormality seen from irregular asymmetric heat patterns seen on the skin surface, whereas vascular score predicts the presence of asymmetric vascular activity.

These scores are generated using machine learning algorithms over medically interpretable parameters that describe the metabolic activity inside the breast tissue and indicate the presence of a possible malignancy even in asymptomatic women. Based on this, Grade 2 means benign and non-cancerous appearance. Of the 51 women screened,

• 17 women got a Grade 2 scoring. Based on the above, a Grade 2 score means benign and non-cancerous appearance. These women require annual follow up to understand risk of vascular or temperature changes for early detection of breast cancer. These women will be followed up annually.
• 34 women got Grade 1 report that means normal report.

Screening for high blood pressure and diabetes:
Of the 51 women seen

• 6 women were found to have high pressure. Of them 3 were newly detected and were referred for a re assessment and the remaining 3 were known cases on medication. All these women will be followed up at the clinic.
• 4 women were found to have high blood sugar. Of them one woman’s blood sugar was over 350 and she was newly found to have diabetes. She has been referred for other tests for confirmation to initiate treatment. All women will be followed up at the clinic.
