WHO WE ARE?

Mahila Arogya Vikas (MAV) is a noble initiative taken by Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji to raise awareness for regular screening of abnormalities, infections and cancerous cells in breast and cervix of a woman. Its inception was in 2007 in Warangal and Karimnagar districts of Telangana. Today, MAV has served over 11 lakh women (and counting) in over 1000 camps across Indian states like Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Delhi and across Nepal. Each camp involves educating and screening 150 to 200 women. Medicines are provided for free of cost. If screening results in any abnormalities, post-screening care, and treatment are also provided.

MAV has also improvised the screening process multi-fold through customized, innovative and cost-effective Colposcope, a surgical instrument used in screening. (Rs.2.5 lakh instrument now costs only Rs.6000) Recognizing the quality of service and the enormous impact that MAV is bringing to the society, the Telangana state government approached MAV in 2019 to collaborate and operate so that the reach goes further deep and broad. Hundreds of volunteers work day in and day out with a dream of keeping women, families and there by societies healthy and happy.

If a woman suffers, the entire family fails to work peacefully. The society struggles.

If a woman is healthy, the entire family stays productive and happy. The society flourishes.

HOW WE COLLABORATE

  • Our Reach is Expanding

Inspired by Swamiji’s vision and approach, the Ministry of Women Development and Child Welfare of Telangana expressed keen interest to collaborate and expand the reach of services provided by MAV. The government passed an order to Anganwadi workers to get trained by MAV team and begin conducting surveys and camps in their respective villages. Anganwadi centers already have an established health care for providing basic health care to the villagers. They will now be equipped with an ability to create awareness in the women about cancer and other abnormalities in a structured environment like any certified health care provider. They play very active role in taking us to the people. Going with them gives confidence for the people of that area to share their health problems openly.

Our collaboration with the local Govt and Private Doctors provides immense support during medical camps; We involve local pharma drug stores to secure medicines and clinical equipment. We work with corporates, Multi-National companies, some business units, project teams participate in conducting camps as part of their outreach / CSR activities.

Contributing to a happy society is what we want to achieve. This is where our organization plays a key role in using digital colposcopes and customizing them for a clear examination of the cervix and detecting abnormal conditions in the early stages.

  • Innovation at service

The colposcopes used in cervical screening are now in-house products. This not only reduces cost, but also removes inconvenience for woman being screened, and decreases wait time. The original colposcope costs about 2.5 lakhs, but our team  invented a similar colposcope which costs about 60,000, which is not only mobile but has the ability to connect to the laptop. This version of the instrument lets the woman herself take a look at the internal view of the cervix to assess the cleanliness and care of the private areas. The team utilized their experience to the best, and invented another model that brought down the cost to just Rs.6000.

There are now four inlets to let four women look at the computer screen for their report and visible results. Therefore, there is lesser wait time and effective use of technology. We use the saved money for conducting more camps and taking care of lakhs of other women whom we couldn’t reach otherwise!

  • Empower

We step up cancer literacy and knowledge amongst the rural population and help people recognize the early signs and symptoms of cancer, thus enabling them to seek treatment at  30% of cancer cases could be prevented by modifying lifestyle or avoiding the risk factors.

MAV helps low-income, uninsured, and underinsured women gain access to timely breast and cervical cancer screening, diagnostic, and treatment services.

  • Impact

Approach of our volunteers towards cancer screening helped many underprivileged women to step up and talk about their problems. Women are now volunteering to get diagnosed who otherwise were shy and scared to come to camps. They are now facing adapting healthy life style and taking treatments with positive attitude thus saving themselves from the deadly disease, cancer. Free follow ups and medicines are helping the rural and underprivileged women in improving their lives and bringing smile in their families. MAV has increased their reach by conducting 3-5 camps a month to 20-25 camps a month with 150-200 women screened in each camp.
