K J Somaiya Hospital launches SehatKaTeeka Campaign for Women's Health

To celebrate this Women’s Day, K J Somaiya Hospital & Research Centre, one of India’s leading multi-specialty hospitals, has launched a campaign titled ‘SehatKaTeeka’. The hospital will be conducting a month-long awareness campaign in order to promote women’s health.

Speaking on the launch of the campaign, Manisha Bobade, CEO, K J Somaiya Hospital & Research Centre said, “Several health surveys and studies have revealed an alarming rise in cancer and lifestyle related health issues among women in India. One of the critical factors driving this rise in diseases and cancer related health issues is the lack of awareness among women about their own health. Thus, as we celebrate Women’s Day, we decided to launch this awareness campaign in order to bridge this knowledge gap among women.”

As per a recent study published in the Nature Journal, it has been revealed that India will witnesses more than 50,000 cases of breast cancer rise each year in the next decade. Another study conducted by Redcliffe Labs revealed that 3 in 5 women in India are at risk of anaemia. Identifying these concerning health issues, K J Somaiya Hospital & Research Centre decided to conduct a month-long awareness campaign.

Through this campaign, the hospital will be providing women’s exclusive health packages in order to promote early testing. These packages will be provided to all female patients visiting the hospital. Besides this, the hospital will also be conducting awareness sessions among female doctors, medical staff and healthcare professionals present at the premises.
