• Cancer may affect 130 million Indians by 2030 and a large majority of them will be from disadvantaged backgrounds.
• Today, poor awareness and lack of health infrastructure leads to late detection of cancer. As a result medical expenses are pushed up by 5x sending the whole family into a poverty trap. Moreover, 7 out of 10 people die due to the late detection. This narrative is repeated across the developing nations.
• We at Aaroogya foundation want to change that. We work on early cancer diagnosis in the most vulnerable group of patients - women, who suffer from 3 of the top 5 occurring cancers.
• We empower frontline health workers like Asha/ANM in India and mid level healthcare workers in Africa to screen women for cancer. We do this through Artificial intelligence assisted tech intervention and on-ground support by our fellows.
• Based on the screening, high risk women are connected to nearby hospitals while women with low risk are advised on ways to prevent cancer. We also provide a helpline in multiple Indian and International languages to provide more information about cancer prevention and care. This continuous process of screening and help will result in skilled healthcare workers, better aware populations and will help government map the population for Habits and disease burden. We have screened 51000+ women that led to early detection of cancer in 2900 of them.
• We are doctors who started Aaroogya and brought together a team of health professionals, anthropologists and technologists to enable front line health workers to easily screen people for common cancers. If we screen early, we can eliminate cancer before it eliminates another life.
