Women are foundation of the family but, while catering, looking after their family they do not take care of themselves. They don’t reach out for help until it’s late. Taking this into consideration, on the occasion of International Women’s day Prime media and Manipal hospital, Goa took this wonderful initiative to create an awareness amongst all the women.
“It is necessary to see a doctor even when you are healthy so that if you have a problem you can do screening and address it at an early stage” says, Dr Sophia Rodrigues, Gynaecologist.


With a sole purpose of creating awareness and reaching out to women who are unserved of basic health facilities with providing a free health checkup up was a huge success.
