Women's Health Awareness Programme Held in Vadodara
On 13 September 2024, an important women's health awareness programme took place at Patra Ni Chali, Behind Railway Station, Alkapuri, Vadodara, starting at 6 PM. The event was organised by Shri Shakti Charitable Trust and brought together doctors, community leaders, and health advocates to speak on topics that affect millions of women across India.
What Was Covered?
The programme focused on three key areas of women's health:
- Cervical Cancer Awareness – understanding risk factors, symptoms, and the importance of regular screening
- Breast Cancer Awareness – how to recognise early signs and why timely check-ups matter
- Menstrual Hygiene – promoting safe and healthy practices for women and girls
These are topics that are often not spoken about openly, especially in smaller towns and communities. Events like this help break that silence and encourage women to take their health seriously.
Speakers at the Event
The programme featured a strong panel of speakers:
- Jiya Shailesh Parmar – Managing Director of JK Motors and Chairperson of Shri Shakti Charitable Trust
- Dr. Dolly Ramnani – MBBS (Gold Medalist), MD Gynaecology
- Unnati Desai – Ms. Unity World Asia, Earth Entrepreneur & Sociologist
Together, they shared practical knowledge and encouraged women in the audience to prioritise their health and not delay seeking medical help when needed.
Why These Topics Matter
Cervical and breast cancers are among the most common cancers affecting women in India. When detected early, the chances of successful treatment are significantly better. Regular screening, awareness about warning signs, and open conversations within families and communities can make a real difference.
Menstrual hygiene is equally important — proper practices protect women from infections and support overall reproductive health.
A Step Towards Healthier Communities in Gujarat
Programmes like this one, held right in the heart of Vadodara, help bring reliable health information directly to women in the community. Initiatives supported by organisations like Shri Shakti Charitable Trust play a meaningful role in encouraging women across Gujarat to stay informed and proactive about their health.
