This “first of its kind” breast clinic aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis and treatment pathway in two hours
On “World Cancer Day”, Smt. Nita Mukesh Ambani inaugurated the “One-stop Breast Clinic” at Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital.
With breast cancer being the commonest cancer detected in women globally as well as in our city, Sir HNRFH’s ‘One Stop Breast Clinic’ aims at helping any woman with a possible or proven disease of the breast to get a comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis and treatment pathway in two hours.
Smt. Nita Mukesh Ambani, Founder and Chairperson, Reliance Foundation, said, "At RFH we have set up not just a comprehensive oncology department but also one of the finest rehab centres in the country. We have developed an Oncology Service second to none. Truly, a Service with a Soul!"
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide and accounts for 14% of all cancers detected in Indian women. In urban areas, 1 in 22 women is likely to develop breast cancer during her lifetime.
Dr Tarang Gianchandani, CEO at Sir HNRFH, said, “On this World Cancer Day, we are delighted to share the launch of a crucially important initiative for all women with breast related issues. Recognising the mental and emotional trauma that often overwhelm a woman with diseases of the breasts, we took it upon ourselves to provide a holistic, one-stop solution. Whether it is for prevention, early diagnosis, treatment planning, counselling, rehabilitation, support or even comfort care, we wanted to present a solution under a single roof for so many women in need.”
Dr Vijay Haribhakti, Director, Surgical Oncology at Sir HNRFH, said, “Women frequently find themselves confused and overwhelmed by several alternatives and need consolidated advice. Our Breast Cancer Clinic is a sincere attempt to provide seamless pathways for excellent care and complete support while giving them a clear and swift diagnosis along with holistic plan of action.”
The One Stop Breast Clinic is designed keeping in mind international best practices, patientcentricity and clinical expertise at its finest and has collaborated with Dr. Ashutosh Kothari, Clinical Lead and Chair of Breast Tumour Group from the renowned Guy's Hospital, London.
