All the literature mentions that the only way to survive these cancers is early detection. That’s the goal of our pacemakers 86 trust! We intend to do cancer detection camps in designated areas for the above killer diseases.

• A village will be selected.
• Survey of all women population will be done above a particular age.
• Then on a pre designated day screening camps will be done by qualified doctors.
• All women in that village will be covered and that village will be declared free from these deadly cancers.
• Next we move on to the next village.

If any cases are detected then free treatment will be given by the trust in the designated hospitals. Along with the screening camps, people will be educated about these killer cancers and the lifestyle needed to escape from them. This cancer screening camps are the ambitious project of our pacemakers 86 trust and we want to achieve a lot in this field. We intend to bring out posters, pamphlets, banners to educate the masses about these killer diseases.
