Nandan and Rohini Nilekani inaugurated the Shailaja Soman Memorial Mobile Mammography Unit on the occasion of World Cancer Day.
The mobile diagnosis unit has been instituted in the memory of Nandan Nilekani's mother-in-law, who lost her battle against cancer because she was not diagnosed on time.
The bus will take free Mammography tests to the door steps of the people of Bangalore and surrounding areas. It aims to cover slum and lower income pockets in the city.
Mobile bus inauguration was held at an all women's school and college in Guruppana Palya.
