Zuvius Lifesciences, in association with YouWeCan Foundation and Heyyo Media, is hosting an all India cancer awareness campaign while engaging with students from various colleges across the country. Kick-started in Shoolini University, Himachal Pradesh, these seminars include interactive sessions with leading oncologists from the country along with numerous competitions to engage the students. The programme focused on adopting a healthy life style for its prevention, early detection and measures to be followed, if encountered with the same. The seminar attempts to clear out the myths and misconceptions of cancer, and also remove the stigma attached to cancer while encouraging students to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Speaking about his battle with cancer, International Cricketer Yuvraj Singh said, “It is imperative that people are made aware of this deadly disease and its forms at a young age so that they do not waste precious time in getting a treatment. Half the battle against cancer is won if we live a healthy lifestyle. Through these seminars we are hoping to increase awareness and dispel many myths about cancer.”

Nimish Thakker, MD, Zuvius Lifesciences added, “At Zuvius Lifesciences, it is our endeavour to educate and minimise the trauma from cancer. Associating with YouWecan Foundation and Heyyo Media has given us the right platform to advocate healthy living.”

The campaign has already covered 12 colleges in Delhi, Shoolini, Jodhpur, Kochi, Bengaluru and Coimbatore and will be travelling to Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Nashik and few more cities in the coming months.
