Action Group for Rural Advancement had organised a Cancer Screening test and Awareness Camp on 9th March 2019 at 252 no Sonmaguri Primary School, Dimu, Rangia. The camp has been done for the people of all age group and sex. The programme has conducted In Kamrup Rural district because there is a lack of awareness about cancer disease, about the cancer treatment, early symptoms and the causes of cancer and most importantly the cases have also been increasing day by day. The primary goal is to promote and develop awareness in the public and emphasize the importance of early detection; all of which play a major role in the treatment of cancer. Cancer awareness can also lead to people making healthier lifestyle choices.
Programme: One day Cancer Screening and Awareness Camp
Date: 9th March
Venue: 252 no Sonmaguri Primary School, Dimu, Rangia.
Collaboration: Dr. B. Barooah Cancer Institute, Guwahati and Sanjeevani-Life Beyond Cancer Organization.
Total Gathering: A total of 250 people have came to the camp.
Outcome: At Kamrup(R) district the cancer patients are highly increasing and peple are not aware about the cancer disease symptoms and where the treatment is available. From a pilot study by AGRA, we are able to know that the people of Sonmaguri village are addicted to drugs, alcohol, tobacco etc and they feel shame to show or go for checkup to hospitals. Through the camp we have found 3 men and 1 women are suffering cancer and they have been connected with Dr. B. Barooah Cancer Institute, Guwahati and Sanjeevani-Life Beyond Cancer Organization for their treatment. We as a NGO feel happy and successful also at same time to provide people a good health and awareness about such diseases which is deadly.
