Free cancer screening for women has been started at Bir Hospital from today.
Kathmandu Metropolitan City, in collaboration with the hospital, has started screening for breast, uterine and cervical cancer in women in a program organized at the hospital on Monday.
It is said that the cancer screening will be conducted until Baisakh 20. At the launch of the screening, Acting Chief of the Metropolitan City Sunita Dangol said that if cancer is detected early, life can be saved. 'If cancer can be detected early through screening, treatment becomes simpler and less expensive. Lives can be saved,' she said. At the same time, she also got herself tested for cancer.
Vice-Chancellor of the National Academy of Medical Sciences, Prof. Dr. Bhupendra Kumar Basnet, mentioned that it has become scary because cancer could not be detected early before.
Executive Director of the hospital, Prof. Dr. Dilip Sharma, said that women should undergo cancer screening repeatedly and should not be afraid if they get cancer.
Deepak KC, head of the health department of the metropolis, said that any woman across the country can go to the hospital and get a cancer test. According to him, for cancer tests, they can go to the hospital with a referral letter from the 32 urban health promotion centers of the metropolis.
