Forty-one per cent of users shared that they did not encourage the women in their life (mother, sister, friend etc.) to go for checkups for issues related to health. Sixteen per cent of the respondents confessed that they did not remind women in their life to take examinations for their own health.

If it is detected in time, it will be cured in nine out of 10 cases.
