Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) is one of the most effective methods for detecting breast cancer at an early and treatable stage. At Snehita Women's Health Foundation, our Breast Health Clinic at Jainagar, Thiruvananthapuram, is open on weekday evenings and Saturday mornings to provide accessible and timely breast health services to women.

As of December 31, 2025, we have conducted over 1,500 evening clinics and 268 community screening camps, providing breast health examinations to more than 26,997 women.

The clinic is led by Dr. Regi Paul, who voluntarily dedicates her time, expertise, and experience to this cause without any remuneration. Beyond clinical examination, she provides reassurance, guidance, and compassionate support to women who often arrive with anxiety, uncertainty, or fear. For many women, the clinic is not merely a place for breast cancer screening but a source of confidence, comfort, and peace of mind.

Through Clinical Breast Examination (CBE), breast health education, timely referral, trusted healthcare guidance, and sustainable follow-up services, Snehita helps women take charge of their breast health and seek timely care when needed.

For many women, Dr. Regi Paul is more than a healthcare professional. She is a trusted guide who listens, reassures, and helps them navigate their breast health journey with confidence, dignity, and hope.

Snehita Women's Health Foundation conducts early detection camps on request for screening of Breast Cancer. Early Detection camps are conducted on weekends and holidays. Reach out to us through our website or email if you want to conduct a Breast Cancer Early Detection Camp for your organisation, community, clubs or residents associations.

Awareness is the cornerstone of cancer prevention and early detection. At Snehita, we are dedicated to educating communities on various types of cancer, preventive measures, methods for early detection, and effective treatment options. Snehita offers one to two hour awareness sessions, both online and in-person, on women's health issues, tailored to your needs. These sessions, primarily led by Dr. Regi Jose (Dr.Regi Paul), Director of Snehita, are available upon request.

1. REACH Program
Respond Empower Act for Community Health (Reach Every Home)

The REACH Program is designed to foster dialogue and build supportive communities for women by training Empowered Health Volunteers—known as Snehitas—in every community. These volunteers serve as compassionate listeners, addressing women’s health concerns and providing appropriate support and guidance. Our goal is to ensure that a trained Snehita is the first point of contact for women everywhere, including workplaces. From 2017 to 2025, we conducted eight training sessions, equipping more than 650 volunteers to carry this mission forward.

2. SHARE Program
Support • Hope • Awareness • Re‑emergence(Arise and shine)
SHARE – Survivor Helping Another Rise
At Snehita Women’s Health Foundation, we believe that no woman should face breast cancer alone. While doctors and healthcare professionals provide treatment, survivors offer something equally powerful: understanding, reassurance, and hope born from lived experience.

SHARE is a survivor-led initiative that brings together women who have successfully navigated the breast cancer journey and are willing to walk alongside newly diagnosed women. Through compassionate listening, practical guidance, and emotional support, SHARE creates a safe space where women can find strength in the experiences of others who have travelled the same path.

What is SHARE?
SHARE stands for:
S – Support
H – Hope
A – Awareness
R – Re-emergence
SHARE is more than a support group. It is a community of women connected by courage, resilience, and the desire to help others face breast cancer with confidence and dignity.
What We Do
Support
We provide a safe and confidential environment where women can share their fears, concerns, and experiences without judgement. Through survivor circles and peer interactions, newly diagnosed women realize that they are not alone.
Hope
Every survivor's story is a message of hope. By hearing from women who have completed treatment and rebuilt fulfilling lives, newly diagnosed patients gain confidence that recovery and a meaningful future are possible.
Awareness
SHARE members actively participate in breast health awareness initiatives, helping women understand the importance of early detection, timely treatment, and informed decision-making.
Re-emergence
Life after breast cancer is not merely about survival. It is about rediscovering purpose, confidence, relationships, and joy. SHARE encourages women to embrace life beyond cancer and emerge stronger from the experience.

The SHARE Difference!
The most powerful words a newly diagnosed woman can hear are often:
“I have been where you are, and I came through it.”

SHARE creates opportunities for those words to be spoken with authenticity, compassion, and understanding. The programme recognizes that survivors possess invaluable experiential wisdom that can ease fears, answer practical questions, and provide emotional reassurance.
Our Commitment
At SHARE, every story is respected, every journey is valued, and every woman is treated with dignity. Confidentiality, compassion, and mutual respect are the foundation of all our activities.
Together, we are building a community where survivors become beacons of hope, helping other women navigate breast cancer with strength, knowledge, and confidence.
Together, we rise with grace.
Together, we SHARE hope.

3. FACT Project
Fight Against Cancer in Thiruvananthapuram (FACT )
(Ensuring continuous care)
The FACT Project embodies Snehita’s commitment to sustained support for women’s health. Since 2015, we have followed up with women who participated in our breast cancer screening and awareness programs, providing baseline screenings and ongoing care. During CBE, we have observed that many have benign breast conditions, such as lumps requiring regular monitoring, which highlights the need for consistent follow-up.

As of December 31, 2025, Snehita is tracking 11,705 women, with 5,744 under close follow-up. Through this initiative, we have detected breast cancer cases early, offering timely advice and guidance to ensure the best possible outcomes. The FACT Project stands as a pillar of care, bridging awareness and action for the women of Thiruvananthapuram.
