Mohali, October 27, 2025: As part of its continued efforts to promote cancer awareness and women’s health, Shalby Hospital Mohali has launched a new public awareness campaign “CanSurvive – Pink Purple Promise” dedicated to Breast Cancer and other major cancers.

The campaign was inaugurated in the presence of Bittu Safeena Sandhu, Managing Trustee of Rani Breast Cancer Trust (RBCT), who unveiled a specially designed Cancer Screening Coupon.

RBCT has been a leading force in promoting free mammography services, awareness programs, and women empowerment activities across Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh.

Highlighting the importance of self-care among women, Dr. Priya Dwivedi, Consultant, Oncology, noted, “Knowledge and awareness are the foundation of prevention. Encouraging women to prioritise their own health is a shared social responsibility.”

Dr. Manoj Kumar, Director, Uro-Oncology, and Dr. Col. Arvinder Kaur Heer, Consultant, Gynaecology, Obs & Gynae-Onco, also shared expert insights and interacted with the audience.

Reaffirming the hospital’s community commitment, Mr. Gladwin Sandeep Nayyar, Chief Administrative Officer, said, “Through the CanSurvive campaign, Shalby Mohali aims to reach more people early with advanced cancer care and awareness initiatives.
