Background: It is vital to provide supportive health & hygiene care to the cancer survivors who are either undergoing cancer treatment & rehabilitation far away from the hospital set up at their homes or in temporary charitable homes.
It is not only difficult but almost impossible to get trained nurses or medical care giver in such locations or at home, as a result the quality of life of cancer survivors rapidly deteriorates except those few economically privileged who stays in big metropolitan cities.
Location: Mumbai (Charitable Home for out station poor cancer patients.)
Current activities: We are providing counselling sessions to the large number of migrants target group of immediate family members and friends on how to provide basic medical and nutritional health support. This kind of intervention will not only improve the quality of life of the patients but also save their money while at the same time would reduce emotional stress of the family members.
We are also giving clinical advice, treatment and support to the relatives who stays for months in a make shift shelter or in charitable home in big city like Mumbai far away from their native village & town during their course of therapy.
