In an inspiring event at MIO Thirthahalli, held under the leadership of Dr. Suresh Rao, Director and Senior Oncologist, and A.N. Vijayendra Rao, a group of dedicated swayam sewaks (social workers) gathered to launch an impactful cancer awareness initiative. These swayam sewaks, hailing from various regions of the Shivamogga district such as Haveri, Sagar, Soraba, and beyond, are dedicated to spreading cancer awareness and providing guidance on cancer care and services offered by MIO.
The event featured insights from Dr. Rajiv, Medical Oncologist, who addressed the importance of cancer prevention and early detection, emphasizing actionable steps that individuals can take to reduce their risk. Dr. Anusuya, from General Medicine, complemented this with an engaging talk on the role of diet and lifestyle in cancer prevention, providing valuable advice in maintaining a healthy lifestyle as a preventive measure.
With the guidance and expertise of MIO’s esteemed medical professionals, the swayam sewaks are now equipped to share critical cancer awareness information in their communities. Their dedication to this cause strengthens MIO’s mission to make cancer care accessible, informed, and preventive across Shivamogga and surrounding areas.
