Hyd: Doctor achieves Second Guinness World Record for breast cancer awareness

Hyderabad, Mar 15 (UNI) Ushalakshmi Breast Cancer Foundation and KIMS-Ushalakshmi Centre for Breast Diseases, in collaboration with Brahma Kumaris, have secured a second Guinness World Record for the "Highest views of a Breast Cancer Awareness lesson on YouTube in 24 hours."
The awareness presentation, delivered by renowned surgeon Dr P Raghu Ram, attracted 6,218 viewers globally, benefitting thousands in this historic empowerment drive.
Asia Pacific Adjudicator for Guinness World Records, Rishi Nath, presented the award at KIMS Hospitals on Saturday and praised Dr Raghu Ram for his clear and impactful 40-minute presentation.
This achievement follows Dr Raghu Ram's earlier Guinness World Record for conducting the "Largest Breast Cancer Awareness Lesson," which educated 5,020 people in person.
Together, these initiatives have empowered over 11,000 people within 24 hours, marking a significant milestone in breast cancer awareness.
Former Vice President of India, Venkaiah Naidu, congratulated Dr Raghu Ram for his dedication to spreading awareness about early detection of breast cancer. He highlighted Dr Raghu Ram's impactful work across 4,000 villages in Telugu states, which has contributed significantly to saving lives.
Dr Raghu Ram dedicated the achievement to his late mother, Dr Ushalakshmi, a breast cancer survivor who inspired his advocacy efforts. Emphasizing the importance of early detection, he expressed hope that the record-breaking awareness campaign would further empower women across the country.
Commending the achievement, Dr. B. Bhaskar Rao, Chairman of KIMS Group of Hospitals, emphasised the need for regular mammograms for women over 40, underscoring the importance of breast health for family well-being.
Rich tributes were also paid by K Padmanabhaiah, Chairman of ASCI, who applauded Dr Raghu Ram's relentless efforts over the past 18 years to improve breast cancer care in India.
