Cancer
treatment in India is expensive and health insurance only helps the
upper as well as middle classes. In nearly all cancer hospitals, poor
old patients have to wait for months for diagnosis, arranging funds,
looking for professional opinion and getting appointments from
specialists. Inadequate treatment
facilities and shortage of early screening, caused by poor
public health system in the country has caused large numbers of
cancer cases being reported
extremely late for them to derive benefit from any long term
treatment.
HelpAge
India has been in partnership with various reliable as well as
competent cancer hospitals and organizations for performing
treatments which consist of operations, radiation and chemotherapy.
These partners carry out cancer awareness and detection camps, as
well.
Ever
since HelpAge India started its involvement in Cancer Care for
the senior citizens, it has given support of over Rs. 6.73 Crores to
29 hospitals as well as institutions in 11 states all over India.
25,000 aged people have been screened for cancer and more than 10,000
treatments provided. The aim for following 5 years is to offer
treatment for two thousand poor elderly patients.
