Every year, nearly 50,000 children are diagnosed with cancer in India. Of these, almost 50% cannot afford treatment and succumb to the disease. In an earnest attempt to address this distressing reality, Vidyashilp Academy and Humanist Centre for Medicine set up the VSA Cancer Care Fund in December 2020.
In less than a month, VSA Cancer Care Fund has supported the treatment of five paediatric cancer patients at Cytecare Cancer Hospitals, the knowledge partner and key supporter of the Fund. For 2021, the endeavour is to provide financial assistance for the treatment of 50 children suffering from cancer.
