Xiaomi India Partners With Yuvraj Singh Foundation For Breast Cancer Screening Initiative As They Celebrate Their 10 Years In India
The 'Swasth Mahila Swasth Bharat' initiative will offer safe breast cancer screening services.
Xiaomi India has officially announced a partnership with the Yuvraj Singh Foundation (YouWeCan) for the launch of the 'Swasth Mahila Swasth Bharat' project. The aim of this collaboration is to screen 150,000 women for breast cancer over 12 months across 15 states, focusing on under-represented and under-resourced communities. Xiaomi India is a global technology leader, and their collaboration with the YouWeCan Foundation only represents the commitment of both institutes to give back to society and contribute to the welfare of the people of India.
The President of Xiaomi India, Muralikrishnan B, stated, "IIn our decade-long journey in India, we have evolved beyond being a technology brand by leveraging our extensive network for meaningful social change. The stark reality that a woman in India dies of breast cancer every 6 minutes, with 70% of cases diagnosed in advanced stages due to a lack of screening, underscores the urgency of our mission. We're proud to join forces with the Yuvraj Singh Foundation (YouWeCan), harnessing our technological expertise to drive large-scale impact. Together, we aim to break stigmas, spread awareness, and enable early detection, potentially saving countless lives. This initiative embodies our commitment to India, extending far beyond innovation to
address critical health challenges and create lasting positive change."
The former world champion and founder of the YouWeCan Foundation, Yuvraj Singh, shared his happiness about the collaboration and said, "The 'Swasth Mahila Swasth Bharat' campaign is a crucial step in our fight against breast cancer in India. Despite limited awareness and access to screening, especially in rural areas, we're determined to make a difference. Xiaomi India's support is instrumental in scaling our efforts to reach 1.5 lakh women across 15 states. Their commitment is truly commendable. Together, we're not just screening for breast cancer; we're empowering women with knowledge and early detection tools. We are grateful to Xiaomi for their partnership in this initiative."
The 'Swasth Mahila Swasth Bharat' initiative will offer safe breast cancer screening services. They will look to raise awareness about the risks and provide services that will help in the early detection and timely treatment of cancer. The initiative will employ a community-based screening model that utilizes cost-effective and reliable technology. Screenings will be conducted in safe and accessible locations, such as government schools and Anganwadi.
The program will partner with local primary health centers (PHCs), community health centers (CHCs), and government district hospitals to ensure widespread reach. Comprehensive patient support will be provided, encompassing education, counseling, and assistance with navigating the healthcare system.
