Sanjeevani Life Beyond Cancer is positively committed to
fulfil its mission of having a cancer-free society. During our
grass-root level endeavours in rural as well as urban settings, we come across women who fall prey to various women- related cancers due to lack of awareness regarding them. Thus, on the eve of International Women's Day, Sanjeevani Life Beyond Cancer (Bangalore) organised an awareness program on women-related cancers at Aims Institutes of Management and Sciences (Bangalore). The program was graced by a distinguished set of guests, including Dr. Suresh Babu, Medical Oncologist, Kidwai (Bangalore); Dr. Mamatha Devraj, doctor in Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences; Dr. Kiran G. Reddy, principal, Aims Institutes of Management and Sciences (Bangalore) and Mr. Anil Ahluwalia, co-founder, Sanjeevani Life Beyond Cancer. The program was attended by the esteemed faculty and more than 300 students of the institution. Addressing the crowd, Dr. Babu, who has 12 years of experience in oncology and more than 125 international publications, talked extensively about how to understand the symptoms of various women-related cancers and how to prevent them. He also highlighted the various ways in which allopathy can both fight and prevent cancer in general. Following him, Dr. Mamatha Devraj, winner of Mother Theresa Award (2016) and National Women's Award (2018), in her speech talked about the roots behind various types of women-related issues and how yoga can help cure them. Director of Mamdev Yoga Hub, Dr. Mamatha is also the recipient of Aryabhatta International Award (2017). Mr. Anil Ahluwalia, co-founder of Sanjeevani Life Beyond Cancer and General Manager, Public Relations and Brand, Bharat Petroleum, too spoke about the importance of awareness regarding cancer in general. Mr. Ahluwalia is a MBA from Punjab University. Principal of AIMS, Dr. Reddy in her speech stressed on why women should not be ignorant of their health and also on how they should properly take care of their bodies. The students who attended the program were enlightened by the renowned guests and were confident about spreading awareness regarding women-related cancers with their family and friends. Team Sanjeevani Life Beyond Cancer is grateful to the guests for taking out time from their busy schedules to be with us, everyone from Aims Institutes of Management and Sciences who helped us in making this event a successful one and as always, to our interns and volunteers for their hard work.
