10 lakh women are identified with cervical cancer every year. Yearly 1 lakh people die because of cervical cancer. Because of shyness and a social taboo, women do not come forward with their problems. Thereby, their problems are aggravated and leading to irrevocable health conditions. To bring awareness and save women, Vikasa Tarangini has taken up the unique service of educating and serving women. Vikasa Tarangini is the only organization doing this unique service using VIA tests recommended by Indian Medical Council and WHO to identify infections and abnormal growths in women.
Married women are prone to vaginal infections. If neglected, they tend to become cancerous. It is highly recommended that women should go for a physical checkup yearly once after marriage and once in 6 months after crossing 40 years. Pap Smear test is the diagnostic test conducted in hospitals to rule out infections in women. It costs anywhere between Rs.1000 to Rs.2000 to do a test. The expenses incurred for medications are not included in the tests. Besides it takes 2 to 3 days to get the results.
Vikasa Tarangini specializes in Visual Inspection Using Acetic Acid (VIA). Indian Medical Council and World Health Organization (WHO) have accepted these tests as equal to Pap-smear in diagnosing the infections.

I am K. Sarada Narasimhacharyulu hailing from Vijayawada. I am suffering from severe back pain since 2 years. I took treatment from big doctors but all in vain. One day Smt. Madhavi and Ravindra couple came to my house. They advised me to visit the camp but I told them that I was afraid and besides I was allright and healthy. They still insisted me that there is nothing wrong in taking the medical tests and it was the wish of Sri Swamiji that all the volunteers should avail the facility. At last, I agreed and the conclusion was that I had the chances of utirine cancer and it should be operated. Now I am 100% alright and thanked Swamiji for taking the special interest and promoting Arogya Vikas services.Outside we spend thousands of rupees for the same tests but here it is done for free. For rescuing us from such fatal diseases only HH Swamiji started such medical camps. My special thanks to VT Services.

I came to the Vikasa Tarangini Women Health Care camp and was suggested for further tests. Initially, I went to Guntur Hospital and my uterus was removed. When I went for further check up- the doctor suspected cancer and referred me to Basava Tharaka hospital. After further tests, I was operated again. All the costs were taken care by Arogya Sri scheme which was suggested by Vikasa Tarangini Mahila Arogya Sakha. Thanks to Vikasa Tarangini for all the help.
Now-a-days the medical facilities have become very costly and ladies are neglecting their health problems. The medical staff of the Women Health Care Camp are educating the women of health problems and helping them. Let us all utilize their services.
I am very grateful to our Guruji for conducting this Medical Camp. It is really a boon for the middle class and lower middle class women. The way they are clearing our doubts and treating us is commendable. Their concern and efficiency are great. The way they explained to us showing our tests is good. I am very happy. My hearty respects to Guruji for helping us.
I am very grateful to the doctor for conducting the free Medical Camp for screening Uterine Cancer in women. People lack the knowledge and understanding of cancer. Women need to take the screening test from time to time. Medical service is the best service and woman’s health plays an important part in the family.
Thank you.
Free Medical Camp is a great opportunity for lower income groups. The doctor and staff are very kind and patient in taking our tests, explaining the problems and treating us. They are giving us free medicines also. I am very grateful to Swamiji for providing us this facility.
Such camps are an essential need of the day in this busy schedule of life, when women’s health is neglected, as these problems of uterus are not an emergency. When detected the situation goes beyond control. Thank you very much for the medical committee for supporting and enhancing awareness in the community.
