Rewa, June 29 (HS). Deputy Chief Minister and Health Minister Rajendra Shukla inaugurated a free cancer screening camp at Government Girls College Rewa on Saturday. On this occasion, he said that cancer is a very fatal disease, but it can be completely prevented if detected on time. For this, every person should get his health checked regularly. Prevention of every serious disease is possible by getting regular health checkups. Along with this, we also get to know about the deficiency of various vitamins and other nutrients, which we can overcome to stay healthy. Health facilities are developing rapidly in Rewa. A new cancer unit is being constructed in the medical college. In which very modern machines will be installed soon at a cost of Rs 32 crore. Rewa will be developed as a medical hub. This will not only treat the patients of Vindhya region but serious patients from the surrounding areas will also come here for treatment.
Deputy Chief Minister Shukla said that the government is constantly concerned about the health of the general public. The Chief Minister has recently started PM Shri Air Ambulance Service. The first patient to benefit from this service was from Rewa. Heart patient Govindlal Tiwari was airlifted from here to Bhopal and given treatment facilities. This entire arrangement has been made free of cost. Taking advantage of the government schemes, now even the poor are going by plane and getting their treatment. The Deputy Chief Minister said that the National Hospital and the District Red Cross Committee have done a very commendable job by organizing a free cancer check-up camp in the Government Girls College. Free health check-up facility has been provided to the girl students and working women here. If cancer is identified on time, then its complete treatment is possible. The situation becomes serious only when there is a delay in its identification. A few months ago, arrangements were made for free check-up of one lakh people of the entire division in Rewa. In which 136 cancer patients were found after the examination. They are being provided proper treatment.
In the program, Deputy Chief Minister Shukla honored District Red Cross Committee President Dr. Prabhakar Chaturvedi, National Hospital Director Dr. Akhilesh Patel, Dr. Pooja Gangwar Patel and Dr. Yogesh Shukla, cancer specialist by giving them mementos.
Welcoming the guests at the function, Dr. Prabhakar Chaturvedi said that continuous efforts are being made to spread health awareness among women. Due to hesitation, many times women are not able to tell others about breast cancer and cervical cancer despite getting the hint of it. Through such camps, arrangements have been made for free checkup of women. On the special initiative of Deputy Chief Minister Shukla, innovative efforts are being made in the field of health not only in Rewa but in the entire state.
In the ceremony, Dr Akhilesh Patel said that the National Hospital in Rewa has been working in the field of cancer for three years. We are trying to provide complete facilities for cancer treatment. Breast cancer and cervical cancer are the biggest problems in women. These can be treated easily if one knows about their initial symptoms. A vaccine has also been prepared to prevent cervical cancer. The ceremony ended with a vote of thanks by the Principal of Kanya Mahavidyalaya, Dr Vibha Srivastava. The ceremony was conducted by Dr Amarjeet Singh. Advocate Rajbhan Singh, social worker Paramjeet Singh Dung, journalists, college professors and college girls were present in the ceremony.
