Breast cancer is India’s most common cancer among women, with nearly 232,800 new cases expected in 2025. Despite advances in treatment, outcomes depend heavily on when the disease is detected. In India, only about 30% of cases are diagnosed early, compared to more than 60% in developed nations – meaning too many women still face late-stage diagnoses, reduced survival, and higher treatment costs.

To combat this urgent challenge, the MEIL Foundation, in partnership with the Sudha Reddy Foundation, today announced the launch of Pink Power Run 2.0 – Hyderabad’s flagship initiative to raise awareness, promote early detection, and rally communities nationwide in the fight against breast cancer. The event will be held on Sunday, 28th September 2025, at Necklace Road, Hyderabad.

The announcement was made in the presence of global icons – Opal Suchata Chuangsri, Miss World 2025 and a breast cancer survivor, and Krishnah Gravidez, Miss Asia 2025, alongside Mrs. Sudha Reddy, Founder of the Sudha Reddy Foundation and Global Ambassador of the Miss World Organization.

Voices of Purpose
Mrs. Sudha Reddy, Founder of the Sudha Reddy Foundation, said, “Breast cancer is claiming the lives of far too many women in India. Awareness, early detection, and access are the three pillars that can change this. When we know that survival can rise dramatically if cancer is caught early, it is our responsibility to take this mission forward. The Pink Power Run is about uniting people, saving lives, and making Hyderabad a beacon of hope for women across India.”

Miss World 2025, Opal Suchata Chuangsri, added, “As a breast cancer survivor, I know firsthand the strength, courage, and early intervention needed to win this battle. The Pink Power Run is not just a race – it is a movement that can save lives. With India’s overall five-year survival rate currently at 66.4%, every step we take toward early detection can improve those odds.”

Miss Asia 2025, Krishnah Gravidez, said, “True progress in healthcare comes when every woman, no matter where she lives, has access to screening and treatment. I am proud to stand alongside MEIL Foundation and Sudha Reddy Foundation to champion this cause for India’s women.”

As more women in their 40s and 50s overlook regular gynaecological visits, experts at Sri Ramakrishna Hospital warn that silent conditions like cervical cancer, osteoporosis, and hormonal imbalances may go unnoticed, impacting long-term health. The Gynecology experts shed light on the importance of prioritizing midlife reproductive health.

Best Gynecology Hospital in Coimbatore

Gynecological health often takes a back seat in midlife as women juggle career, family, and caregiving roles. However, skipping regular gynecological checkups during these crucial years can lead to missed early warning of serious health issues. Gynecology experts at Sri Ramakrishna Hospital urge women in their 40s and 50s to prioritize regular gynecological visits.

Midlife Brings Hormonal and Physical Changes – Monitoring Is Essential
From the late 30s to mid‐50s, women undergo significant hormonal transitions due to perimenopause and menopause. These changes affect everything, periods to mood, weight, skin, and reproductive organs. Regular checkups help us monitor these shifts and manage them before they impact overall wellbeing.

Menstrual irregularities, hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, and changes in libido are just a few symptoms women may experience. While many of these are natural, some may point to underlying issues like uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or early menopause that need medical attention.

Catching Health Conditions Like Cancer Early – Screenings Matter
One of the strongest reasons not to skip a gynecological visit is the early detection of cancer. Cervical cancer is highly preventable and treatable when detected early through regular PAP smears and HPV tests. Unfortunately, many women stop screening after their childbearing years, thinking it’s no longer necessary, which is a dangerous myth.

Ovarian cancer, often called the “silent killer“, shows few symptoms until it has progressed. Regular pelvic exams and ultrasounds during gynecological checkups can detect usual changes, leading to early diagnosis and a better chance of successful treatment.

Beyond Reproduction: Gynaecologists Monitor Overall Womens Healthy
Gynaecologists do more than assess reproductive health. At midlife, they evaluate a range of issues such as:

• Bone health: Declining estrogen affects bone density, increasing the risk of osteoporosis.

• Cardiovascular risk: Menopause raises the risk of heart disease in women.

• Bladder issues: Urinary incontinence and recurrent infections are common in midlife and post-menopause.

• Sexual health: Vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, and low libido can all be addressed with proper treatment.

Gynecology experts in Coimbatore take a holistic approach. They screen for common post-menopausal health concerns and work alongside endocrinologists, cardiologists, and other specialists to ensure overall wellness.

Mental Health and Hormonal Balance Are Interlinked
Many women report mood swings, anxiety, and even depressive symptoms as they enter menopause. Hormonal changes can significantly impact mental health, and regular gynaecological visits provide an opportunity to discuss these often-overlooked symptoms.

Be it assessing whether symptoms are hormonal or psychological in origin and guide patients towards the right treatments-be it hormone therapy, counselling, or lifestyle modifications, gynecology specialists in Coimbatore are at the forefront.

Routine Screenings Every Midlife Woman Shouldn’t Miss

• Pap Smear (every 3 years or as advised)

• HPV Test

• Breast Examination and Mammogram

• Pelvic Ultrasound

• Bone Density Test

• Thyroid Function Tests

• Blood Pressure and Diabetes Screening

These tests help us build a health profile that guides future care. If anything unusual is detected, the specialists can act early-whether it’s fibroids, cysts, polyps, or hormonal imbalance.

Breaking the Stigma Around Gynaecological Health
One reason many midlife women avoid gynaecological checkups is stigma. Topics like urinary incontinence, hot flashes or abnormal bleeding are often swept under the rug due to embarrassment.

Sri Ramakrishna Hospital is committed to creating a judgement-free, compassionate space where women can talk openly and get accurate information. No concern is too small. Gynecologists encourage women to speak up about anything that feels off-because early detection saves lives.

The Role of Preventive Gynaecology in Healthy Aging
Preventive healthcare is a cornerstone of healthy aging. Regular gynaecological visits help maintain vitality and independence well into later life.

A lot of chronic issues we see in older women could have been avoided or better managed if they were caught during midlife. That’s why it is stressed that preventive care rather than waiting for symptoms to become severe. Whether it’s preventing prolapse, managing urinary leaks, or ensuring proper hormone balance, gynaecological support plays a key role in helping women age with confidence.

Midlife can be a powerful, transformative phase-if health is given its due attention. Skipping gynaecological checkups may seem harmless but can result in missed opportunities for early diagnosis, better health outcomes, and improved quality of life.

Gynecology experts at Sri Ramakrishna Hospital strongly advise all women above the age of 40 to make annual gynaecological checkups a priority-not just for reproductive health, but for overall wellness.

Sri Ramakrishna Hospital in Coimbatore has been at the forefront of womens healthcare for over four decades, offering expert-led, compassionate, and comprehensive gynaecological services. With a dedicated team of specialists, advanced diagnostic tools, and a patient-first approach, Sri Ramakrishna Hospital ensures that women at every stage of life-from adolescence to menopause-receive the care and attention they deserve.

Vingroup was awarded the First-Class Labor Order in recognition of its exceptional achievements in developing the National Exhibition Fair Center. This prestigious award acknowledges the Group’s breakthrough efforts and determination in completing the project 15 months ahead of schedule, celebrating the 80th National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and making a significant contribution to the socio-economic development of the capital city and the nation.

Vietnam’s Party General Secretary To Lam presents the First-Class Labor Order to Mr. Pham Nhat Vuong- Chairman of Vingroup – in recognition of the Group’s outstanding achievements, at the National Exhibition Fair Center in Hanoi, Vietnam

The conferment ceremony was part of the Inauguration and Groundbreaking Ceremony of National Projects commemorating the 80th anniversary of Vietnam’s National Day (September 2, 1945 – September 2, 2025), held at the inauguration site of the National Exhibition Fair Center, Tu Lien Bridge area, Dong Anh District, Hanoi.

Located in Hanoi, the National Exhibition Fair Center covers 90 hectares and ranks among the world’s top 10 largest exhibition venues

The National Exhibition Fair Center is a state-level key project, ranked among the top 10 largest exhibition centers in the world. With a total area of about 900,000 square meters, it is envisioned to become a premier international destination for global trade fairs and exhibitions, as well as a new symbol of Hanoi’s development.

Construction commenced on August 30, 2024, and the site was handed over on June 27, 2025-after just 10 months of construction, 15 months ahead of schedule. This remarkable pace set a new benchmark in Vietnam’s construction sector, overcoming major challenges in engineering and executing a massive steel dome structure of unprecedented scale and complexity.

As both investor and general contractor, Vingroup maximized all resources, proactively designed construction plans, coordinated manpower, equipment, and materials, and ensured seamless supply chain management across multiple contractors.

During peak construction periods, the project mobilized hundreds of contractors and about 3,000 workers and engineers, supported by 800-1,000 pieces of heavy machinery sourced from across the country, including 300-500 ton cranes and super-heavy transport vehicles. The site operated at full intensity, 24/7 in three shifts, optimizing every moment to shorten construction time by 60%.

While accelerating progress, Vingroup also maintained strict oversight of each component, ensuring safety, quality, and long-term sustainability of the project.

Mr. Nguyen Viet Quang, Vice Chairman and CEO of Vingroup, shared, “Receiving the First-Class Labor Order at the inauguration of the National Exhibition Fair Center is a profound honor and pride for all Vingroup employees. We are committed to continuing our spirit of perseverance and determination to operate the Center successfully, contributing to making Hanoi and Vietnam leading destinations for world-class political, economic, cultural, and social events.”

At the heart of the Center is the Kim Quy Exhibition Hall, one of the world’s largest circular exhibition hall with an area of approximately 130,000 square meters and a central height of 56 meters.

Inspired by the sacred Golden Turtle God (Kim Quy) of the Co Loa legend, the hall’s unique architecture is hailed as a new wonder of the capital. Its engineering posed extraordinary challenges: a steel dome weighing 24,000 tons, assembled from ultra-large steel beams and high-strength bolts using specialized torque-severing methods to ensure quality control and double the standard safety factor. The roof is covered with ultra-light, ultra-durable fiberglass fabric, offering natural translucency and energy efficiency in line with global green building standards.

Beyond the Kim Quy Exhibition Hall, Vingroup has developed a comprehensive exhibition ecosystem including four outdoor plazas (East, West, South, North), the VinPalace International Convention Center, landscaped green parks and lakes, and large-scale parking facilities. With capacity for hundreds of thousands outdoors and thousands indoors, the Center is not only suited for mega exhibitions but also for large-scale events such as concerts, national festivals, and global technology showcases-meeting the strictest international requirements and redefining Vietnam’s MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) industry.

One of the key drivers behind this construction milestone is the upcoming National Achievements Exhibition – 80 Years of Independence, Freedom, and Happiness, taking place from August 28 to September 5, 2025. For the first time, all provinces, ministries, sectors, and enterprises across Vietnam will gather in a single national-scale exhibition, expected to attract millions of visitors and reignite national pride.

The accelerated completion of the National Exhibition Fair Center not only demonstrates Vingroup’s strong financial capacity, professional execution, and effective project management, but also affirms its commitment to serving the nation and the strength of Vietnam’s private enterprises in this new era of global integration.
