Xiaomi India Partners With Yuvraj Singh Foundation For Breast Cancer Screening Initiative As They Celebrate Their 10 Years In India

The President of Xiaomi India, Muralikrishnan B, stated, "IIn our decade-long journey in India, we have evolved beyond being a technology brand by leveraging our extensive network for meaningful social change. The stark reality that a woman in India dies of breast cancer every 6 minutes, with 70% of cases diagnosed in advanced stages due to a lack of screening, underscores the urgency of our mission. We're proud to join forces with the Yuvraj Singh Foundation (YouWeCan), harnessing our technological expertise to drive large-scale impact. Together, we aim to break stigmas, spread awareness, and enable early detection, potentially saving countless lives. This initiative embodies our commitment to India, extending far beyond innovation to
address critical health challenges and create lasting positive change."

The former world champion and founder of the YouWeCan Foundation, Yuvraj Singh, shared his happiness about the collaboration and said, "The 'Swasth Mahila Swasth Bharat' campaign is a crucial step in our fight against breast cancer in India. Despite limited awareness and access to screening, especially in rural areas, we're determined to make a difference. Xiaomi India's support is instrumental in scaling our efforts to reach 1.5 lakh women across 15 states. Their commitment is truly commendable. Together, we're not just screening for breast cancer; we're empowering women with knowledge and early detection tools. We are grateful to Xiaomi for their partnership in this initiative."
