Thoubal: The Karkinos Manipur Cancer Institute and Research Centre collaborated with the Chief Medical Officers’ Team from Thoubal District and the Democratic Students’ Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) to conduct a cancer early-detection programme. The ‘One Day Community Awareness and Screening Program’ took place at the Wangjing Kodompokpi Sports Complex Relief Camp in Thoubal, Manipur.
The primary goal of the program was to disseminate knowledge about cancer care and emphasise the significance of maintaining proper health and hygiene within the relief camp’s population. The event saw participation from individuals of diverse backgrounds, including men and women from nearby villages in Thoubal District, as well as members of the Chief Medical Officers (CMO) Team and the Democratic Students’ Alliance of Manipur.
The event featured the active involvement of medical professionals, such as Dr. Nongdren Senjam, the Medical Officer in Charge at Wangjing PHC, and a dedicated team from Karkinos Healthcare Manipur, comprising specialists like Dr. K. Rajo Singh in Anesthesiology, Wahengbam Imo Singh as Operations Manager, and Th. Shantibala as Nursing Staff, along with resident medical officers, nurses, and lab technicians.
