The health department has announced a mass cancer screening initiative, ‘Arogyam Anandam - Keep Cancer at Bay,’ as part of a year-long effort to detect cancer early and provide timely treatment. Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will inaugurate the campaign on February 4, World Cancer Day, at Tagore Theatre in Thiruvananthapuram. Actor Manju Warrier has been appointed brand ambassador of the campaign.
Health Minister Veena George said that the campaign was necessary due to the fact that many cancer patients only seek medical help in the later stages of the disease, making treatment more challenging.
