About Us
Breast and Lymphedema Society is a dedicated professional initiative focused on advancing breast care and lymphedema management. This is planned with multi-pronged approach. First and foremost, we emphasize enhancing the skills of already practising surgeons ,physicians, oncologists, physiotherapists and colleagues by expert led workshops and clinical education.
We also want to equip healthcare professionals with practical skills, updated knowledge and evidence based techniques to improve patient diagnosis and outcome. Our program also is designed towards physiotherapists, nurses and paramedical colleagues, so that a one stop solution for lymphedema care can be established in most of the setups across the country. And patients will not have to visit multiple centers for a complete care of the same condition.
