New Delhi: Public sector lender Punjab National Bank today launched a cancer detection camp in the capital here today, as a step towards corporate social responsibility by fighting against the disease.

The camp organised in association with Indian Cancer Society was inaugurated by the bank's Chairman and Managing Director K C Chakraborty. "Bank, as an institution, has a vested interest in the society. If people of the society are healthy and wealthy, it would automatically translate into larger business for banks," said Chakraborty.

The bank has earlier organised 35 other cancer detection camps where about 1,473 men and 746 women were examined, he informed.
