Additional Notes to the Editors:
Congenital heart disease is a critical public health issue in India, with significant morbidity and mortality rates. It affects nearly 1 in 100 new-borns in the country. At the same time, breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among Indian women, comprising more than 25% of all female cancers. A recent ICMR study noted that patients diagnosed at a local stage have a 4.4 times greater chance of five-year survival compared to those with distant-stage cancer, making timely diagnosis and access to treatment key to better outcomes for these patients. The projected cervical cancer burden for India in 2025 is estimated to be 1.5 million disability-adjusted life days, as per a pubmed study.
