Chandigarh, March 8, 2016: Hartek Power Pvt Ltd, one of India’s fastest growing Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) companies based in Chandigarh, observed International Women’s Day by organising a free breast cancer screening and awareness camp in association with the PGI at the anganwadi in Bapu Dham Colony.
More than 50 women of the colony were examined and given tips on early detection and prevention of breast cancer by a team of PGI doctors.
As part of its effort to generate awareness about breast cancer among women from underprivileged sections of the society, Hartek Power also organised inspirational talks by breast cancer survivors and a street play emphasising the need to identify signs of breast cancer early and take remedial action before it becomes too late.
Women employees of Hartek Power, who took the initiative to conduct this camp, not only encouraged women of the colony to share their health-related concerns with PGI doctors and seek medical counsel, they also went door to door to bring as many women to the camp as they could.
Lauding the enthusiastic efforts of the company’s women employees, Keerti Singh, HR Head, Hartek Power, said, “We are proud of you for taking the initiative to observe Women’s Day in such a wonderful way. Women are equal partners in India’s growth story, and we need healthy women to make a healthy society. Your commitment towards underprivileged sections of the society resonates with the values our company upholds as a socially responsible organisation.”
