This proposed joint congress will be a landmark first-of-its-kind initiative where resources and expertise from all across the USA will be mobilised and the many Indian breast surgeons working in the USA will be roped in to improve the delivery of breast healthcare in India.

Emphasis of Dr Raghuram's talk was on the need to find ‘Indian solutions to Indian problems’ rather than blindly following guidelines that apply to the western world. In his address, Dr Raghuram outlined the genesis and implementation of the innovative large scale population-based breast cancer screening programme being implemented in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh aimed at detecting breast cancer in the early stages amongst the underprivileged women.
