A family recalls how a mobile cancer screening van parked at a school saved two lives
For some years now, the Deepavali season brings a rare memory to this family in West Mambalam.
Two members in the family fought cancer and are now leading a normal life, thanks to a 16-year-old’s gentle nudge that got the elders at home to undergo a cancer screening camp at her school.
The diagnosis happened around Deepavali time in 2014. The management of Jaigopal Garodia Hindu Vidyalaya Secondary School had organised a breast cancer screening camp for its teachers and support staff on the campus. A mobile cancer screening clinic of Penn Nalam, a unit of Sri Dhanvantri Trust, had wheeled in. The mobile clinic was parked in the school and the team had told the students to ask their elders at home to avail this facility.
