Another programme known as “Health Talks” we are running in our campaigns. The health talks are designed for the community health workers, patients, clinical staff, community leaders and the public at large to discuss the health related issues, to reduce the gap in their knowledge about the cancer. Cancer is a complex and potentially life-threatening disease that arises when cells in the body undergo uncontrolled growth.

Understanding this disease is crucial for prevention, early detection, and effective treatment, Through the health talks we are running other programmes. In the health talks the professional Doctors of oncology from the extreme well organisations, Hospitals talks about the various factors that can help to prevent the cancer.
