Signature Global Foundation has launched a Cancer Screening Initiative for labour communities at its project sites. The initiative is part of Aarogya Rise, the Foundation’s flagship health programme.
The Foundation has launched the programme with Sankalp Cancer Care Foundation. Sankalp will manage the programme from awareness and screening to referrals and follow-up care.
Five health and cancer screening camps were held across different locations on September 23. The camps focused on preventive healthcare, early detection and timely medical support.

The camps offer:
- Blood pressure checks

Participants who need further medical attention can receive additional support through the referral process.
Sankalp Cancer Care Foundation has partnered with Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute & Research Centre (RGCIRC), Rohini. RGCIRC will support further diagnosis and treatment for people referred through the programme.
Awareness Before Screening
Awareness sessions were held before the screening camps at different project locations. The sessions explained the importance of regular health checks and early detection.
