Srinagar, Nov 4: A Breast Health Clinic was inaugurated Friday at SK Diagnostic Centre, Wazir Bagh, under the aegis of Dr Shad Salim's Clinic.

It said the concept involves examining patient and deciding on the appropriate treatment.
“The team comprises of medical oncologist, a surgi¬cal oncologist (Cancer Surgeon), a radiologist (specialising in breast ultrasound), and a pathologist.”
The team is headed by Prof Shad Salim Akhtar, and, included, among others, Dr Javed Ahmed, a cancer surgeon, and Dr Khalida Salim, a radiologist. "This is an important step forward towards improving the quality of care of patients in Kashmir who have breast complaints. It is also the first time that such a com¬bined clinic has ever been held. The feedback from our patients was very encour¬aging, and we are looking forward to having regular clinics in the future,” Dr Shad Salim said.
The clinic will be working on Fridays at the Centre.
