Bengaluru, 28th September, 2022:
Niramai, the innovative health-tech
Indian company which has developed the world-renowned radiation-free, automated and non-invasive
breast cancer screening test has launched a new initiative in the October
Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Now, community healthcare providers, NGOs and
public health workers who are conducting health awareness talks can also perform
screening camps in conjunction. This new initiative offers “Easy Launch Kits” for
breast cancer screening as a special ‘Starter Kit’ for socially concerned organizations enabling
them to provide accurate breast cancer screening services by spending just Rs 1000
per day. This kit enables partner cancer societies, hospitals,
diagnostic centers, and NGOs to provide Niramai’s automated breast cancer
screening service for unlimited monthly screenings to triage population and identify
patients with high suspicion of breast malignancy. This limited period offer with
bookings available from 1st – 31st October on ‘First come first serve basis’, will
help screenings become accessible and affordable to more women.
Dr. Geetha Manjunath, CEO & Founder,
Niramai, said, “It is extremely crucial to encourage more
and more women to get screened every year to enable early-stage detection and
early treatment intervention which not only save lives but also reduces
treatment costs. Early-stage detection makes the person go back to normal life
very soon. Since our test provides a “changing room” experience where nobody
sees or touches the women during the test, we have so far received excellent
feedback from both urban and rural women. There are many socially concerned
organizations who actually have similar mission of detecting cancer early, but
they were unable to provide free screening services due to the exorbitant costs
of hiring a mobile mammography van. With the launch of our Starter Kit, we are
enabling a collaborative platform to make screenings accessible and scalable to
save thousands of women. ”
Niramai has been at the forefront of
bringing safe, economical, and accessible screening solutions to women across
age groups and sections of the society. With this launch, Niramai hopes to
impact the lives of more women positively by encouraging them to go for
screenings at their nearest diagnostic center, hospital or NGO. Niramai
has partnered with reputed healthcare providers such as Apollo Clinics, HCG hospitals, Medall Diagnostics, Rainbow Hospital and
Medanta and more, to provide the novel
breast cancer screening solution in their facility as well as conduct outreach
programs in apartment complex.
Niramai
has also launched a free whatsapp chatbot for urban women on +91 94834 34444.
This is a free “breast health help line” where women can ask any questions
related to breast health and evaluate their risk to breast cancer using a
validated Machine-Learning-based risk assessment service called with a easy and
user-friendly interface through Niramai’s ChatBot. This online assessment test
takes only a few minutes and the results are provided within minutes.
Niramai has conducted over 70,000
screenings in India and is operational in over 150 installations at hospitals
and diagnostic centres across 29 Indian cities. Niramai also launched Home Screenings service in
collaboration with Healthians, Apollo, MiyaraWomen, ProactiveForHer and others.
Niramai has also started international commercial
activity in Kenya, UAE, Turkey, UK, Switzerland, Sweden and USA. Niramai is the
1st Indian startup in the female healthcare space to have received regulatory
approval from two major global regulatory bodies – the US FDA clearance and the
European CE Mark Approval.
