Cancer Patients Aid Association: (2003 and 2005) We have also been fortunate to be able to associate with the charitable NGO Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA) working towards the Total Management of Cancer as a disease, which includes :
- Spreading awareness on the dangers of chewing tobacco, early marriage, multiple pregnancy etc, which is responsible for approximately 70 % of cancers in India.
- Initiating steps for the early detection of cancer since treatment at this stage leads to a cure in a majority of cases.
- To provide complete assistance to cancer patients beyond that given by the medical profession, that is, taking a holistic approach, not attacking the malignancy in isolation.
We have donated $150, which will contribute towards supplying medicines to cancer patients.
Vardaan: Vardaan is an organization for adoption and child welfare affiliated to Lata Mangeshkar medical college, Nagpur, India.
