The inauguration ceremony was led by PMPML Chairperson and Managing Director, Mrs Deepa Mudhol-Munde, who cut the ribbon of the mobile van dedicated to the mammography and Pap smear screenings.

This camp will also extend to PMPML depots, ensuring that a larger number of women employees benefit from these essential health screenings. Mrs Alka Rode from the Rotary Club of Pune Sports City compered the event, and PMPML's Labour and Public Relations Officer, Mr Satish Gate, offered the vote of thanks.
Mrs Deepa Mudhol-Munde highlighted the importance of regular health checks, saying:
“Whether a working woman or a homemaker, women often neglect their own health while taking care of their families. It is crucial that they undergo regular check-ups to maintain good health. I sincerely thank the Rotary Club of Pune Sports City, M-Cure Pharmaceuticals, Samarth Yuva Foundation, and Dada Gujar Hospital for making these important tests free and accessible at the workplace for PMPML women employees. I encourage all our female staff to take full advantage of this camp.”
This initiative serves as a vital step towards ensuring the health and well-being of women employees at PMPML, promoting the early detection and prevention of critical health conditions such as breast and cervical cancer. |
