A leading hospital in Delhi has teamed up with National Association for the Blind to engage visually-challenged women in early detection of breast cancer by harnessing their pronounced tactile capabilities. The duo has launched 'Discovering hands' , a unique breast screening technique for early detection of breast cancer. In a nine-month-long training program, these women will be trained to screen and detect breast cancer in patients of all age groups.
After undergoing training, they will be appointed as Medical Tactile Examiners as part of a pilot project. Source: Business Standard
