Yintsasa yangeCawa enelanga, kwaye ndingqongwe ngabafazi baseIndiya abanxibe iisaris, spandex, kunye neetyhubhu zetracheostomy. Bonke bayakulangazelela ukundibamba ngesandla xa sihamba, nokundixelela konke malunga nohambo lwabo lomhlaza kunye neendlela abasebenza ngazo.

Unyaka ngamnye, iqela labasindileyo bomhlaza lihamba kunye kwizitepsi zamatye kunye neendlela zokungcola ukuya phezulu kweNandi Hills, ihlathi lamandulo leenduli ezingaphandle kwedolophu yabo, iBanaglore, eIndiya, ukwabelana ngamabali abo omhlaza kunye neqela lonke. "Ukunyuka kwabasindileyo" isithethe esenzelwe ukuhlonipha abasindileyo bomhlaza kunye namalungu osapho abo abenza indawo ebalekayo ye-Pinkathon-e-India eyona ndawo inkulu yabasetyhini yokubaleka (3K, 5K, 10K, kunye nesiqingatha semarathon) kugqatso lwawo lonyaka. Njengentatheli yaseMelika enomdla wokufunda malunga nePinkathon, ndiziva ndinethamsanqa lokwamkelwa kuhambo.

Kodwa ngoku, ndiziva ndingaphantsi njengentatheli kwaye ngakumbi njengowesifazane, umfazi, kunye nomntu olahlekelwe ngumhlobo wakhe obalaseleyo kumhlaza. Iinyembezi zizehlela ebusweni bam ndimamele ibhinqa elinye, u-Priya Pai, esokola ukuphuma ibali lakhe phakathi kokukhala.

"Rhoqo ngenyanga bendisiya kugqirha wam ndikhalaza ngeempawu ezintsha kwaye bathi, 'Le ntombazana iyaphambana,'" likhumbula igqwetha elineminyaka engama-35 ubudala. "Babecinga ukuba ndiyayibaxa kwaye ndifuna ingqalelo. Ugqirha waxelela umyeni wam ukuba asuse i-Intanethi kwikhompyuter yethu ukuze ndiyeke ukukhangela phezulu nokudala iimpawu."

Kuthathe iminyaka emithathu enesiqingatha emva kokuqala ukuya koogqirha bakhe ngokudinwa okungapheliyo, iintlungu zesisu, kunye nesitulo esimnyama koogqirha ukuze ekugqibeleni bamxilonge ngomhlaza wekolon.

Kwaye nje ukuba ukuxilongwa kuphawule ukuqala koqhaqho ngaphezulu kweshumi elinambini- kwafika ngo-2013, "abantu bathi ndiqalekisiwe," utshilo uPai. "Abantu bathi utata, owayengawuxhasi umtshato wam noPavan, wandithuka ngomhlaza."

Intshukumo yaBasindileyo boMhlaza eIndiya

Ukungakholelwa, uxilongo olulibazisekileyo, kunye nehlazo loluntu: Ziyimixholo endiyiva iphindaphindwa kwakhona ngalo lonke ixesha lam ndintywiliselwe kuluntu lwasePinkathon.

IPinkathon ayisiyiyo nje iqela leentlanga zabafazi kuphela, emva koko. Luluntu oluqinileyo oluqinileyo olonyusa ulwazi lomhlaza kwaye luzama ukuguqula abantu basetyhini babe ngabameli babo kwezempilo, ngeenkqubo zoqeqesho olubanzi, imithombo yeendaba zasekuhlaleni, iintlanganiso zeveki, izifundo ezivela koogqirha nezinye iingcali kwaye, ewe, ukunyuka kwabasindileyo. Olu luvo lwentlalo kunye nenkxaso engenamiqathango ibalulekile kubafazi baseIndiya.

Nangona, ekugqibeleni, injongo yePinkathon kukwandisa impilo yabasetyhini kwingxoxo yesizwe, kubafazi abathile abanjengoPai, uluntu lwasePinkathon yindawo yabo yokuqala kunye neyodwa ekhuselekileyo yokuthetha igama elithi "umhlaza." Ewe, ngokwenene.

Indyikityha Engathethekiyo Yomhlaza waseIndiya

Ukonyusa incoko malunga nomhlaza e-India kubaluleke kakhulu. Ngo-2020, i-Indiya-ilizwe apho inani elikhulu labemi lihlwempuzekile, lingafundanga, kwaye lihlala kwiilali zasemaphandleni okanye ematyotyombeni ngaphandle kokhathalelo lwempilo-liya kuba likhaya kwisihlanu sabaguli abanomhlaza emhlabeni. Nangona kunjalo, ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha sabasetyhini baseIndiya abaneminyaka eli-15 ukuya kwengama-70 abayazi imingcipheko yomhlaza wamabele, olona hlobo luxhaphakileyo lomhlaza eIndiya. Kungenxa yoko le nto isiqingatha sabasetyhini abafunyaniswe benesi sifo e-India sisweleka. (EUnited States, elo nani lihlala kwisiqingatha esinye kwezintandathu.) Iingcali zikwakholelwa kwelokuba isahlulo esikhulu-ukuba ayisiyiyo imeko yesifo somhlaza esingaqondakaliyo. Abantu babulawa ngumhlaza bengazi nokuba banawo, bengenalo ithuba lokufuna unyango.

"Ngaphezu kwesiqingatha seemeko endizibonayo zikwinqanaba lesithathu," utshilo u-Indian oncologist u-Kodaganur S. Gopinath, umseki we-Bangalore Institute of Oncology kunye nomlawuli we-Healthcare Global Enterprise, umboneleli omkhulu we-India wokunyamekela umhlaza. “Intlungu ayisoloko iluphawu lokuqala, yaye ukuba akukho ntlungu, abantu bathi, ‘Kutheni ndifanele ndiye kwagqirha?’” Uphawula ukuba iindlela zokuhlola umhlaza wamabhinqa eziqhelekileyo njengePap smear nee<em>mammograms aziqhelekanga. Kungenxa yeengxaki zemali kunye nomcimbi omkhulu kwinkcubeko.

Kutheni ke abantu, ngakumbi abasetyhini, thetha malunga nomhlaza? Abanye baba neentloni zokuxubusha imizimba yabo namalungu entsapho okanye oogqirha. Abanye bakhetha ukufa kunokuba ngumthwalo okanye bahlazise iintsapho zabo. Umzekelo, ngelixa iPinkathon ibonelela bonke abathathi-nxaxheba bayo kuvavanyo lwempilo yasimahla kunye nee-mammograms, ziipesenti ezi-2 kuphela zababhalisi abasebenzisa ithuba lesibonelelo. Isiko labo lifundise abantu basetyhini ukuba babalulekile kuphela kwiindima zabo njengoomama nabafazi, kwaye ukuzibeka phambili ayikokuzicingela kuphela, kodwa lihlazo.

Okwangoku, uninzi lwabasetyhini alufuni kwazi ukuba banomhlaza, kuba ukuxilongwa kunokonakalisa ithemba lokutshata kweentombi zabo. Nje ukuba umntu obhinqileyo abhalwe njengomhlaza, usapho lonke lungcolisiwe.

Abo bafazi abo yenza Ukuzimela ngokwabo ukuba bafumane uxilongo olufanelekileyo-kwaye, emva koko, unyango-bajongane nezithintelo ezintle. Kwimeko kaPai, ukufumana unyango lomhlaza kwakuthetha ukumchitha kunye nomyeni wakhe. (Esi sibini sikhuphe izibonelelo zeinshurensi yezempilo ezibonelelwe zizo zombini izicwangciso zokhathalelo, kodwa ngaphantsi kweepesenti ezingama-20 zelizwe elinayo nayiphi na i-inshurensi yezempilo, ngokwe-National Health Profile 2015.)

Yaye xa umyeni wakhe waya kubazali bakhe (abahlala nesi sibini, njengoko kuqhelekile eIndiya), baxelela umyeni wakhe ukuba ufanele onge imali yakhe, ayeke ukunyangwa, aze atshate kwakhona emva koko kwakuza kuba kukufa kwakhe.

Ngokwesithethe, kucingelwa ukuba kukho izinto ezilunge ngakumbi kunomntu onokuchitha imali kuzo kunempilo yebhinqa.

Xa Umgca Wokugqibezela Usekuqalekeni

E-Indiya, eli hlazo lijikeleze impilo yabasetyhini kunye nomhlaza sele lidluliselwe kwizizukulwana. Yiyo loo nto uPai kunye nomyeni wakhe, uPavan, basebenze nzima ukufundisa unyana wabo oneminyaka emi-6 ubudala, uPradhan, ukuba akhule abe lihlakani kubafazi. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, uPradhan nguye owarhuqela uPai kwiwadi yongxamiseko ngo-2013 emva kokuba eye wawa kwigaraji yokupaka isibhedlele. Kwaye xa abazali bakhe bengakwazanga ukwenza enye yemibhiyozo yakhe yesikolo ngenxa yokuba uPai wayehlinzwa ngelo xesha, wema eqongeni phambi kwesikolo sakhe sonke wabaxelela ukuba wenza utyando ngenxa yomhlaza. Wayezidla ngomama wakhe.

Ngaphantsi konyaka emva koko, ngentsasa efudumeleyo kaJanuwari, iveki emva kokunyuka kwabasindileyo, uPradhan umi entanjeni ecaleni kwePavan, enoncumo lwendlebe ukuya endlebeni, evuya njengoko umama wakhe egqiba i-Bangalore Pinkathon 5K.

Kwintsapho, lo mzuzu luphawu olubalulekileyo lwokoyisile kunye-nayo yonke into abanokuyenzela abanye ngePinkathon.
