Kolkata :
In response to the rising incidence of cancer, Medella Karkinos Oncology
Institute, in association with the Progressive
Rural Medical Practitioner’s Welfare Association, organized a high-impact
Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Cancer Awareness Program at Habra, in
North 24 Parganas. The session brought together over 55 Rural Medical
Practitioners (RMPs) with the objective of raising awareness about cancer care
and early detection in rural parts of West Bengal.
The
program aimed to empower Rural Medical Practitioners to play an active role in
spreading awareness about advanced cancer care treatments, early diagnosis, and
the importance of dispelling myths surrounding cancer. The sessions also
focused on how medical oncology and radiation oncology are transforming cancer
treatment outcomes through advanced therapeutic approaches.
Dr.
Akther Jawade, Director East, Karkinos Healthcare said, “There
is a rise in cancer prevalence, particularly in rural areas. This increase
highlights the urgent need for regular cancer screening, early detection, and
improved access to oncology services. Rural medical practitioners are the first
point of contact for healthcare in the districts. By equipping them with the
right knowledge about cancer care, we can bridge the awareness gap and promote
early diagnosis, which remains the most effective way to save lives.”
Dr.
Akther Jawade added, “At Karkinos Healthcare
Kolkata, we are committed to bringing world-class oncology expertise closer to
every corner of Bengal. Programs like these allow us to educate,
empower, and extend our reach into communities that need us most. Such
platforms play a pivotal role in raising awareness about new treatment
paradigms and technologies that can transform cancer care, especially through
active collaboration with local healthcare providers.”
A highly experienced Medical Team headed by Medical
Oncologist Dr. Sayoni Bhanja and Radiation Oncologist Dr. Palash De was present
to conduct the program. Experts from the hospital
emphasized
the importance of precision medicine, molecular diagnostics, and targeted
therapies, which are significantly improving treatment
outcomes for patients with high-risk cancers.
The program also addressed
the role of new technologies in expanding access to quality cancer care and underlined
the importance of continuous medical education to ensure that clinicians stay
abreast of rapid developments in oncology and can deliver the highest standards
of patient care.
Medella
