Delhi Hospital Sets World Record in Cervical Cancer Screening

A Delhi hospital achieved a Guinness World Record by screening over 500 women for cervical cancer in eight hours. Conducted with DSCI and Mahila Mandal, the camp focused on early cancer detection and awareness, offering counseling and guiding further evaluation for necessary follow-up care.

A private hospital in Delhi has reached an extraordinary milestone by securing a Guinness World Record for the highest number of cervical cancer screening samples collected within an eight-hour timeframe. This unprecedented feat took place during a mega screening camp held in Budh Vihar.

Novaneo Hospital, in collaboration with the Delhi State Cancer Institute and the All India Terapanth Mahila Mandal, conducted screenings of over 500 women, collecting crucial Pap and HPV samples. This initiative underscored the importance of early detection in preventing cervical cancer, one of the most prevalent but preventable cancers in Indian women.

The hospital's outreach program not only facilitated mass screenings but also provided counseling on risk factors and early symptoms. The event highlighted the critical role such initiatives play in bridging the gap between advanced medical care and community health needs. The organizers plan further camps to widen access to preventive healthcare across Delhi.
