Centre established by Sudha Reddy Foundation and MEIL Foundation to provide free early detection services; Pink Power Run 2.0 announced
Dokiparru, Andhra Pradesh, August 20, 2025: In a landmark initiative for women’s healthcare, philanthropist Sudha Reddy, alongside Miss World 2025 Opal Suchata Chuangsri and Miss Asia 2025 Krishnah Gravidez, inaugurated a state-of-the-art Breast Cancer Screening Centre in Dokiparru village, Krishna District.
The centre, set up by the Sudha Reddy Foundation in partnership with the MEIL Foundation, will provide free breast cancer screening and early detection services to rural women, addressing one of India’s most pressing health challenges and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women.
Voices of Change
Speaking at the inauguration, Sudha Reddy, Founder of the Sudha Reddy Foundation and Global Ambassador of the Miss World Organization – Beauty with a Purpose, said:
> “This is more than an initiative — it is a mission to save lives. Early detection is the strongest weapon against breast cancer, and by bringing these facilities to villages, we are ensuring that no woman is left behind simply because of where she lives.”
Miss World 2025 Opal Suchata Chuangsri, herself a breast cancer survivor, shared:
> “I have walked through the fear, uncertainty, and relentless fight that this journey demands. Today, I stand here to tell every woman, in Andhra Pradesh and across the world, that you are never alone. Knowledge, early screening, and the strength of a united community can and do save lives.”
Miss Asia 2025 Krishnah Gravidez added:
> “Healthcare should not be a privilege of cities. This centre in Dokiparru is a powerful reminder that true beauty lies in compassion and purpose. Together, we can change the narrative on breast cancer and give women everywhere the dignity of access and hope.”

On this occasion, the dignitaries also announced the second edition of the Pink Power Run 2.0, Hyderabad’s flagship breast cancer awareness initiative, scheduled for August 20, 2025. The run aims to mobilize communities, spread awareness, and rally support for early detection and women’s health.
