The awareness camp focussed on imparting information related to cancer, symptoms and early diagnosis. The camp also featured cancer survivors who shared their experiences with patients. The objective of this activity was to provide strength to and motivate those diagnosed with cancer.
Led by Dr. P P Bapsy, Senior Consultant & Head – Oncology, consultants from Apollo Hospitals educated the audience about Myths and Facts about Cancer and Warning Symptoms and Early Diagnosis in addition to sharing information on Leading a Positive Lifestyle for better health.
Apollo Hospitals will run a cancer detection camp at its Bannerghatta road facility throughout the month of February to facilitate early diagnosis.
To commemorate World Cancer Day and to create awareness amongst citizens, the hospital launched a sky balloon. The camp was wrapped up with a live concert featuring Vidwan Sri. Gopal (Veena) and Vidwan Sri. Karthik (Mridangam).
