Kovai Medical Center and Hospital (KMCH), Tamil Nadu, has etched its name in the record books by conducting the maximum number of screening mammographies in a single day. Under the visionary leadership of Dr. Nalla G. Palaniswami, Chairman and Managing Director of KMCH, the hospital successfully performed 270 mammograms on women to promote early detection of breast cancer.
This monumental initiative aimed not only to set a record but also to raise awareness, educate the public, and dispel prevailing myths surrounding mammography. Many women hesitate to undergo mammograms due to fears about pain, safety, or complexity. KMCH’s campaign emphasized that mammography is a quick, painless, and crucial tool for safeguarding women’s health.
With a dedicated team of doctors and technicians working efficiently, the screenings were conducted seamlessly throughout the day. The event marked a powerful step in KMCH’s continued efforts to promote preventive healthcare and women’s wellness in India.
The record was officially confirmed on October 20, 2024, and stands as a shining example of the role healthcare institutions can play in fostering public awareness and proactive medical practices.
