Arogyam Anandam: Kerala expands cancer screening to men

Kerala is all set to launch the second phase of its flagship programme ‘Arogyam Anandam – Akattaam Arbudham’. It will now bring men into the screening fold for the first time—targeting oral and colorectal cancers using a risk-based approach. Since its launch, the campaign has screened 14,93,510 women, identifying 128 confirmed cancer cases and 348 suspected cases awaiting confirmation.
