Mrs. Orly Gillon, the wife of Israel’s Ambassador and CDA Rony Yedidia Clein​, delivered the opening remarks to the audience. She said, Can Protect Foundation is doing grassroots work, which is a great effort. The incidence of breast cancer in India can be lowered in the future with the availability of state-of-the-art preventive health facilities to women at health camps being organised for prevention and early detection, as well as awareness by Can Protect Foundation with the efforts of Dr Sumita Prabhakar.

Mrs. Orly Goldschmidt, an Israeli diplomat, said that a team of Israeli doctors, in collaboration with the Can Protect Foundation, will work in India to raise breast cancer awareness and early detection.  A leading Israeli NGO, One in Nine working towards Breast Cancer Awareness in Israel, also took part in the programme.
