🏆 Snehita Women’s Health Foundation Wins Regional First Prize at ICS Spotlight Awards 2026 Snehita Recognised for Excellence in Breast Cancer Early Detection

Snehita Women’s Health Foundation is delighted to announce that it has been selected as the Regional Winner – First Prize (Category B) at the prestigious ICS Spotlight Awards 2026, instituted by the Indian Cancer Society to recognise outstanding work by cancer-focused NGOs across India.

This recognition celebrates a decade of dedicated service towards improving women’s health through awareness, early detection, follow-up care, survivor support, and research-driven innovation.

The award acknowledges two of Snehita’s flagship initiatives:

❤️ Snehita‑FACT (Fight Against Cancer in Thiruvananthapuram)

A community-led breast cancer early detection programme that provides Clinical Breast Examination (CBE), counselling, follow-up navigation, and compassionate care in a trusted, private, and stigma-free environment.

Over the years, Snehita‑FACT has helped thousands of women overcome barriers to screening and seek timely medical attention through continuous engagement and long-term follow-up.

🔬 Snehita‑BRISK (Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool)

A scientifically validated digital risk-stratification tool developed to support breast cancer early detection in low-resource settings.

Available free of cost through www.snehita.in, BRISK helps frontline health workers identify women at higher risk and prioritise them for screening and evaluation. The tool has been scientifically published, adopted within Kerala’s cancer early detection initiatives, presented internationally, and is being used by researchers and healthcare professionals across India.

A Recognition Shared by Many

This award belongs to every woman who trusted Snehita, every volunteer who contributed time and effort, every donor who believed in the cause, every survivor who inspired others, and every partner who supported our mission.

From a small initiative driven by commitment and compassion, Snehita has grown into a model that combines community trust, clinical excellence, volunteerism, research, and innovation.

Looking Ahead

This recognition strengthens our resolve to continue reaching women before breast cancer reaches them.

As we celebrate this milestone, we remain committed to our vision of ensuring that every woman has access to accurate information, early detection, and compassionate support—regardless of geography, education, or socioeconomic status.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
