10 Cancer-Related NGOs Serving The Underprivileged In India:

 Introduction:-

Over 10 million people are estimated to die from cancer each year, and at least one-third of major malignancies are avoidable, according to GLOBAL research. The fact that 70% of cancer-related fatalities take place in low- to middle-income nations is concerning. India is one among them.

While 16 lakh new instances of cancer are discovered in India each year, about eight lakh people die from the disease annually, according to a parliamentary panel in 2019. Six crore Indians are pushed below the poverty level each year due to cancer treatment costs. The same group also expressed worry over the fact that 68% of cancer patients pass away from the condition. The infrastructure for cancer treatment should be quickly upgraded, and the cost of cancer therapy should be reduced nationwide. Given the nation's resource shortage and the vast disparities in the treatment of those impacted by cancer that is easier said than done.

About Top 10 Cancer Care NGO:-

Many cancer care NGOs play a crucial role in bridging the gap by providing the patients with access to cheap healthcare, nutrition, and other types of assistance, giving them a fighting chance to survive cancer.

On World Cancer Day, we take a look at 10 cancer care NGOs that support patients while simultaneously raising awareness of the illness and ways to avoid it.

1. Cuddles Foundation: Providing nourishment to those who are unwell, especially children, is one of the most effective strategies to combat cancer, according to this child-focused cancer care NGO. Cuddles believes in giving disadvantaged children facing cancer comprehensive nourishment because 40% of Indian children with cancer were malnourished when they were diagnosed.

2. St. Jude India Childcare Centers: For families living in poverty while their kid is receiving cancer treatment, the organization's centres provide a home away from home.

This cancer care NGO gives every sick kid, regardless of family income, a chance to beat the illness and live a long, healthy life. St. Jude offers families in need free shelter, food, free transportation to hospitals, and counselling through its 33 centres spread over India. Along with skill development for the families to help them generate revenue, it also provides yoga, music therapy, and art therapy for the patients.

3. Charutar Arogya Mandal: In Gujarat, the Charutar Arogya Mandal is in charge of several medical and paramedical facilities. And it is currently among India's top NGOs for cancer sufferers. The organisation was the idea of the late Dr. HM Patel, a former minister of finance and home affairs.

For patients from lower socioeconomic levels, Charutar Arogya Mandal offers cutting-edge, interdisciplinary cancer care at little or no cost.

4. Indian Cancer Society: Indian Cancer Society was the first cancer-related NGO in India to start aiding patients when it was established in 1951. Additionally, it has been assisting in the early identification of cancer through centres and mobile clinics around India, particularly for the disadvantaged.

Along with providing shelter, treatment, and survivor support groups, it also helps the less fortunate. ICS sponsors a number of programmes to raise awareness of the illness, risk factors, methods of prevention, available treatments, and resources for sufferers and survivors.

5. Udhavum Ullangal Public Charitable Trust: Udhavum Ullangal literally translates to "helping hearts." Although the Charitable Trust's primary duties are in education, healthcare, particularly cancer prevention and cancer patient rehabilitation, has made a beneficial difference in the lives of many individuals.

Each year, this cancer care NGO hosts medical education programmes in collaboration with the Tamil Nadu government's Department of Public Health. In conjunction with Chennai's Cancer Institute, they also hold cancer awareness and screening events. After working for more than ten years to control and prevent cancer, they have checked more than 1.5 lakh people for cancer throughout the state.

6. CanKids KidsCan: Through its flagship programme YANA - You are Not Alone, CanKids KidsCan assists kids with cancer, as the name of the organisation indicates. They offer comprehensive assistance to a child with cancer and their family from discovery through diagnosis and treatment, as well as beyond to increase the likelihood of survival.

The organisation manages six "Home Away From Homes," low-cost accommodations where children with cancer and their families can stay while they get treatment. In Mumbai, it also manages "Canshala," a unique special school for children with cancer. Children with cancer receive thorough palliative and supportive treatment from its Paediatric Palliative Care Center (PPCC) Subhita.

7. Yuvraj Singh Foundation: Yuvraj Singh, a former cricketer for India and a cancer survivor, founded the Foundation, which primarily works in the healthcare industry to address cancer-related concerns. The organisation informs individuals about ways to avoid cancer, the value of routine screenings, and the signs and symptoms of cancer through its cancer awareness campaign. Online campaigns, medical clinics, workshops on corporate awareness, street plays, music festivals, media campaigns, and awareness events are used to spread the word.

8. Sanjeevani Life Beyond Cancer: The organization's goal is to improve cancer treatment in India by fostering a sense of community and addressing every stage of the patient's journey, from prevention to rehabilitation.

Sanjeevani works with people from disadvantaged socioeconomic groups and offers them free medical care. Additionally, it inspires and encourages patients to have a positive view on their health and general well-being. Since its establishment in 2012, Sanjeevani has improved the lives of more than 1,80,000 people.

9. Women's Cancer Initiative - Tata Memorial Hospital: The Women's Cancer Initiative, founded by Devika Bhojwani in 2003 in collaboration with Tata Memorial Hospital, has made significant progress in addressing a variety of concerns connected to the illness in women, including breast, cervical, and ovarian cancers. The main focus of the programme is to assist socially and economically underprivileged women who have been diagnosed with gynaecological and breast malignancies.

10. Cancer Patients Aid Association: The Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA) was established more than 52 years ago with the goal of being a comprehensive cancer assistance organisation that promotes patient care, aid and assistance, awareness, early identification, rehabilitation, and advocacy.

Following A Mastectomy, Breast Reconstruction:-

Image
  How does breast reconstruction work? The shape of the lost breast can be recreated for many women who undergo a mastectomy, a procedure to remove the entire breast to treat or prevent breast cancer . There are various alternatives available to women who decide to have their breasts rebuilt. With implants, breasts can be reconstructed (saline or silicone). The breast can occasionally be rebuilt using both implants and autologous tissue. Breast reconstruction surgery can be performed (or begun) either immediately following a mastectomy (known as immediate reconstruction) or after breast cancer treatment has been finished and the mastectomy wounds have healed. After a mastectomy, delayed reconstruction may take place months or even years later. A nipple and areola may be reconstructed as part of the breast reconstruction procedure if they were not saved after the surgery. In order to ensure that the two breasts are the same size and shape, breast reconstruction surgery ma...

Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology:-

  Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology:-   Introduction :-   The study of neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases of the soft tissues, including muscle, adipose tissue, tendons, fascia, and connective tissues, is the focus of the surgical pathology specialist known as soft tissue pathology. It can be difficult for a pathologist to make a firm diagnosis of many soft tissue cancers using only gross inspection and microscopy; therefore, additional tools such immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, and molecular pathology procedures are occasionally used.   Pathologists at Massachusetts General Hospital as well as those in other parts of the United States and abroad can receive diagnostic assistance from the Division of Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology. Fellows educated by this organisation typically go on to become academic pathologists or specialists in large community hospitals with active orthopaedic and cancer services. Since 1986, the group's primary research...

These terms initially served as an acronym for occupational safety and health program/department/etc. since they also allude to the field's objectives. Fostering a safe and healthy work environment is the aim of an occupational safety and health programme. All members of the general public who might be impacted by the workplace environment are likewise protected by OSH. An accident or illness related to the workplace claims the lives of more than 2.78 million people worldwide each year, or one every fifteen seconds. Every year, there are an extra 374 million nonfatal workplace accidents. According to estimates, the annual economic cost of occupationa...
