Discovering Hands project by Enable India
Discovering Hands is a project from Germany and an initiative of Dr. Frank Hoffman, a senior Gynaecologist in Germany. They have been training blind women for last 10 years to detect the early signs of breast cancer. The visually impaired women with their highly sensitized touch and tactile sense are trained to detect the smallest lumps of breast cancer thereby preventing it at early stages by doing physical examination of breasts. Therefore they are designated as Medical Tactile Examiners (MTEs).
