Cancer Screening organised at JNTUH
Hyderabad: The National Service Scheme (NSS) Cell of Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad (JNTUH) organised a Free Cancer Screening & Awareness Camp at the University Health Centre, JNTUH, on Wednesday, with the participation of NSS Programme Coordinator Dr S. Shobha Rani, JNTUH staff and students. Recognising the importance of preventive healthcare and early detection, the Rotary Club of Greater Hyderabad, in association with Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital & Research Institute, conducted free cancer screening and awareness camps for the university community.
Vice-Chancellor, JNTUH Prof. T. Kishen Kumar Reddy attended the programme as the Chief Guest. Registrar, JNTUH Dr A. Jaya Lakshmi, and Principal, UCESTH Dr G. V. Narasimha Reddy, attended as Guests of Honour and also participated in the programme.
Addressing the gathering, Prof. T. Kishen Kumar Reddy said that cancer has emerged as one of the most serious public health challenges worldwide. He highlighted that increasing cancer incidence is associated with changing lifestyles, stress, unhealthy dietary habits, pollution, tobacco and alcohol consumption, lack of physical activity, hereditary factors, and inadequate health awareness. He further emphasised that cancer is no longer confined to the elderly, as young and middle-aged people are increasingly being affected. In many cases, cancer is detected at an advanced stage because early warning signs are ignored, awareness is limited, or medical consultation is delayed. He stressed the importance of preventive healthcare, regular screening, awareness, and early detection in reducing cancer's impact.
The camp at JNTUH allowed staff and students to undergo cancer screening and receive information from medical professionals on prevention, early warning signs, healthy lifestyle practices, and the importance of timely medical consultation. More than 200 JNTUH staff members and students participated in and benefited from the camp.
