ROKO CANCER Charitable Trust is a "not for profit" organization committed to fighting cancer and preventing deaths due to cancer, especially in women, by timely and early detection. Cancer if detected early is fully curable, whereas if not detected in time it can lead to death/devastation for the patient and the entire family.
The cancer burden and mortality rate due to cancer in India is abnormally high because of lack of awareness and lack of access to screening and detection facilities.
ROKO Cancer has adopted the mission of reaching out to the masses for screening and early detection of the breast and cervical cancer in women and oral cancer in men and women. We have well equipped mobile units (buses) with mammography machines and provision for PAP tests with a team of trained and skilled doctors, radiographers and paramedics to carry out mobile screening and detection camps along with awareness and capacity building campaigns. We not only educate and sensitize the patients but also train the health workers, ASHA and Anganwadi workers to spread awareness and help the communities and the society in our fight against cancer and bringing down the mortality rate.
Our focus areas are slums and remote villages in India where Medical facilities are non-existent.
