In a powerful blend of sport, health and community advocacy, Fortis Hospital, Manesar, in collaboration with BirdiesConnect, is set to host Swing for PINK, a unique wellness event dedicated to promoting early detection and awareness around breast cancer on October 31, 2025. The event will take place at Karma Lakelands Golf Resort, Manesar, bringing together women golfers, healthcare specialists and wellness advocates for a morning filled with golf, health awareness sessions, and on-site breast screenings. The initiative aims to foster open dialogue around breast health and encourage preventive screenings in a setting that celebrates positivity, confidence, and strength.
The key highlight of the upcoming event will be a breast cancer awareness workshop led by Dr. Mansi Chowhan, Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon, Fortis Manesar. Participants will also have the opportunity to experience Thermalytix, an innovative AI-enabled, radiation-free thermal imaging screening tool that provides a comfortable and non-invasive method for detecting early signs of breast abnormalities.
Dr. Mansi Chowhan, Consultant - Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon, Fortis Manesar “Swing for PINK is about creating awareness in a relatable, uplifting environment and taking meaningful steps towards women’s wellness, through sport and conversation, we hope to break stigmas, spark dialogue, and encourage women to prioritize preventive health and regular screening.”
