Fighting a disease like cancer can be overwhelming even for well-off people. As per data, 71% of all cancer patients cannot afford treatment and 78% of patients get debt stricken due to medical expenses. On average, Cancer treatment costs around Rs. 5,00,000 in India which is roughly the yearly household income of the top 1% population. Roughly, 75% of Indians pay for medical expenses from their pocket which makes the cost of cancer treatment an insurmountable obstacle for them.
We assist cancer patients in overcoming these financial barriers by co-paying for their prescribed treatments. In addition to financial support, we also procure and distribute cancer treatment medication free of cost.
A patient alone doesn’t fight against cancer. The entire family of the patient has a role to play in this battle. This takes a toll on their mental and financial health. Hence, it becomes imperative to counsel the entire family during treatment.
Our services are focused on educating patients and their families about what to expect at each step during their fight against cancer. Starting from diagnosis to treatment and post-procedure care. For terminally ill patients, we provide palliative care. We believe that everyone who fights cancer deserves support, be it the patients, their caregivers or healthcare professionals.
Cancer treatment has a long way to go! Even though the process has become extremely potent since its inception. With breakthroughs coming every month, we are keen on funding cancer research that goes beyond traditional medicine.
We also support the continued education and upskilling of doctors as well as nurses who are on the frontline in the battle to defeat cancer.
We are available 24x7 to support cancer patients and their families. We offer our support to everyone, irrespective of whether the disease has just been diagnosed, the patient is mid-treatment, or even if the patient is terminally ill.
We rely on you to fuel our mission. We accept contributions from people and organisations who are willing to lend a hand in our battle against cancer. We accept donations from individuals, charitable trusts and organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and corporate CSR initiatives.
