From screening to survivorship.

Three programs, one goal: no woman in Pune should go without cancer care because of what she can or cannot pay.

01 — Treatment

Treatment for the underprivileged.

When a diagnosis comes back positive, cost shouldn't decide what happens next. We fund chemotherapy, surgery and Herceptin therapy for women referred through our hospital partners who cannot afford treatment on their own.

Every case is reviewed individually alongside our partner hospitals — Care India Medical Society, Prayas Health Group and the NAG Foundation — so funds go directly toward a named patient's care, not general overhead.

  • Chemotherapy and Herceptin therapy fully or partially funded
  • Surgical costs covered in partnership with hospital networks
  • Case-by-case review with our medical partners, not a blanket fund

02 — Awareness

Screening & awareness camps.

Most cancers caught early are far more treatable — and far less expensive to treat. We run free cervical, breast and oral screening camps across Pune's urban wards and rural pockets, often in partnership with corporate CSR programs and local health workers.

Since 2016, our screening partners have examined over 22,000 women for cervical cancer alone, with breast and oral screening camps running alongside.

  • Free cervical, breast and oral cancer screening camps
  • Camps run in both urban Pune wards and rural pockets nearby
  • Positive cases referred directly into our treatment program

03 — Palliative

Palliative & family support.

Treatment doesn't end when the medicine does. We support patients and families through the hardest parts of the journey — comfort care, counselling, and the everyday essentials that hospital budgets don't cover.

During COVID-19, this program expanded to include emergency medical equipment, PPE and essential supplies for hospitals and frontline workers treating both cancer and coronavirus patients.

  • Comfort care and family counselling for patients in treatment
  • Essential supplies and equipment support for partner hospitals
  • Emergency relief support during public health crises
