The Indian Cancer Society - the National
Anti-Cancer Association of our country was established way back in
1951. It is a registered Public Trust under the Bombay Public Trust
Act 1950 and the Societies Registration Act of 1860. Its various
activities are listed below:
The society undertakes total care of
the poor cancer patients of our country by proffering food,
medicines, transport, prostheses, colostomy bags, counseling
services, social welfare and job placement services. It also helps
cancer patients to be self- employed particularly those who come
from the rural areas.
The society established a Rehabilitation Centre at Parel, Mumbai
in 1958 which is the first and the largest of its kind in Asia. The
society also undertakes numerous programmes and projects to educate
the public about the factors relevant to cancer and conducts
continuing educational courses for doctors.
