Pinkathon, in association with cancer care specialists Healthcare Global Enterprise Ltd (HCG), hosted ‘The Pink Strong Talks’, a virtual live session to create awareness about women’s health and breast cancer, as Breast Cancer awareness month was observed in October.

The speakers for the session were Dr BS Ajaikumar, Chairman and CEO, HCG and Milind Soman, Founder, Pinkathon. 

Said Milind Soman, “The response to the third edition of Pinkathon Day has been huge. The innovative format worked well even during these difficult times. The ambassadors did a fabulous job of encouraging women in so many places to take their first steps to fitness. This celebration of women's health is the biggest event India has seen since February 2020. In the run-up to the event, I am happy to be in conversation on the Pinkathon Facebook page with Dr Ajaikumar, CEO and Chairman of HCG, talking about issues related to women's health and breast cancer.”

Dr BS Ajaikumar said, “Most of us lead a sedentary lifestyle, binging on junk food, while exercise is negligible in our daily routine. Such a lifestyle leads to obesity, which is one of the causes of breast cancer. We must monitor our food and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Every woman should do a self-examination, and in case they find lumps or any unusual knots, they should not delay visiting a specialist. It is highly vital to get a diagnosis at the right time. We are glad to be collaborating with Pinkathon to spread awareness about breast cancer and women’s overall well-being. They have created a fantastic platform putting women at the forefront to take charge of their health and motivate others with their indomitable spirit and will power.”

The speakers highlighted the different aspects of breast self-exam, signs to look for, measures to identify breast cancer, and common questions on breast cancer prevention, sedentary lifestyles, exercise, etc., during the session.
