Welcome & Get on Board the "PINK BUS"!!

The prestigious ‘Pink Bus’ of the Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences (SVIMS) is organising free cancer screening camps in villages. Pre-emptive screening assumes importance as cancer is detected at an advanced stage. Moreover, patients are reluctant to go to a hospital for cancer screening for various reasons, including a lot of stigma attached to the disease. Hence, SVIMS decided to take the screening process to the community in the Rayalaseema districts


SVIMS women’s health initiative Pink Bus is designed to provide bundled screening for the 3 major cancers affecting women: Breast, Cervix & Oral Cavity. The Pink bus features mobile mammography, gyn exam/ PAP smear, oral examination, breast ultrasound, educational video on cancer prevention, patient counselling. Subsequently, screening for other Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) through assessment for High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Kidney diseases & Heart diseases is planned.


Pink Bus will help in prevention to palliation for women at their door step. ‘SVIMS’ preliminary target is to reach the all villages in Rayalaseema.
