Congenital heart disease presents a significant public health challenge in India, with substantial morbidity and mortality rates, affecting approximately 1 in 100 newborns. Concurrently, breast cancer is the most common cancer among Indian women, accounting for over 25% of all cancers in females. A recent study by ICMR revealed that patients diagnosed at a local stage have a 4.4-fold higher chance of surviving five years compared to those diagnosed at a distant stage, underscoring the importance of early diagnosis and treatment access. Furthermore, the estimated burden of cervical cancer in India for the year 2025 is projected to reach 1.5 million disability-adjusted life years, according to a study published on PubMed.
