SBI Life organizes breast cancer awareness programme for women officers of Mumbai Police

Taking cognizance of the trials and tribulations of the women in police, SBI Life on the occasion of 'International Women's Day', organized a Breast Cancer Awareness Programunder its 'Thanks-A-Dot' initiative for the women officers of Mumbai Police, in association with Lion's Club. The hardships faced by police personnel is exponentially elevated in case of the women officers, who often end up neglecting their own health to balance the call of duty and household responsibilities.

Encouraging the women police personnel to make selfcare a routine habit, SBI Life distributed the innovative "Thanks-A-Dot' Hot Water Bag, which trains women to identify unusual lumps and acts as a reminder for timely self-breast examination. SBI Life innovated with the design of hot water bag which is used by women universally to manage menstrual pain, by embedding lumps which are identical to actual cancer lumps, in terms of tactile feel and the shape. Additionally, to further the cause of breast cancer awareness, the company has also open sourced the design of Thanks-A-Dot Hot Water Bag, whereby anyone and everyone can use the design to manufacture it on their own.
