Trained blind women to help early detection of breast cancer

May 16, 2019

These women may be visually challenged, but they are trained to conduct a certain kind of touch that will help early detection of breast cancer. Life science company Bayer is conducting an awareness session for its women employees; the session is called ‘Discovering Hands’ wherein blind women will use their highly developed sense of touch for early detection of abnormalities, which could be indicative of breast cancer. Such an exercise is being organised by Bayer at its Thane office on May 24. Bayer has joined hands with the National Association of the Blind (NAB) India Centre for Blind Women to train blind women.
