AyuGen-ACTREC Collaboration: From Early Detection to Cancer Prevention
Our screening programmes in Latur and Dharashiv identified high risk women who needed further treatment. We are especially grateful to Dr. Kavita Anand, Dr. Geetanjali Amin and Dr. Gauravi Mishra, Dy. Director, CCE, ACTREC (the research & treatment wing of Tata Memorial Centre). Their contribution in treating HPV positive women in rural area of Latur went far beyond clinical interventions. They agreed to travel all the way from Mumbai to rural Latur to personally support and provide treatment to these women - a remarkable commitment to taking specialist cancer prevention services closer to underserved communities.
This initiative also reflects the strength of the collaboration between AyuGen and ACTREC - bringing together community-based screening, specialist expertise, timely follow-up and treatment to create a meaningful continuum of cervical cancer prevention.
A special thanks to Dr. Anjali Ugile for making her facility available, enabling the women to receive treatment closer to their homes.
Our sincere thanks also to the DHO Latur, THOs, and the many ASHA workers whose ground-level support was critical in identifying, counselling, mobilising and supporting the women throughout the programme.
