Manipal Hospital Bhubaneswar Strengthens Breast Cancer Awareness with Focus on Screening and Preventive Care
Bhubaneswar, 18th October 2025: Manipal Hospital Bhubaneswar joined the global movement in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month by launching a special initiative aimed at encouraging early detection, preventive screenings, and post-surgery wellness care. In line with this year’s theme “Every Story Unique. Every Victory Different.”, the hospital unveiled its PinkPledge Selfie Zone, inviting patients, visitors, and staff to stand in solidarity with breast cancer survivors and spread the message of hope and awareness.
As part of the campaign, participants received a detailed care booklet a practical guide covering breast self-examination, post-surgical care, drain management, and recovery exercises. The effort reflects the hospital’s holistic approach to wellness, focusing not only on treatment but also on awareness, empowerment, and long-term support. Breast cancer awareness is crucial as the disease often develops silently, with early signs like lumps, nipple discharge, or skin changes easily overlooked. Regular screening and self-examination help detect such symptoms early, improving recovery chances and reducing the need for aggressive treatments.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Nitish Ranjan Acharya, Consultant Surgical Oncology, Manipal Hospital Bhubaneswar, said, “Surgical outcomes in breast cancer improve dramatically when the disease is detected early. Awareness is the bridge that connects women to life-saving interventions. Through initiatives like these, we aim to create a community where stigma is replaced by support, and fear is replaced by informed action.”
Dr. Sachin Sekhar Biswal, Consultant Medical Oncology, Manipal Hospital Bhubaneswar, added, “Breast cancer awareness begins with informed choices and timely action. As a medical oncologist, I have seen firsthand how early detection can lead to better outcomes and improved quality of life. Our goal is to ensure that every woman feels empowered to prioritize her health through regular screenings and open conversations about breast health.”
The initiative highlights Manipal Hospital Bhubaneswar’s focus on promoting regular breast health screenings and raising awareness about early detection. Through ongoing health programs and awareness activities, the hospital encourages women to prioritize check-ups for timely diagnosis and better overall breast health.
