Purpose of the Project

Cancer, a life-threatening disease, is ever-increasing with the changes in lifestyle in a fast-growing world affecting people of ages all over the world. While the disease is fatal to many, some people survive which is considered to be a 'Rebirth' or a second chance to live in this world.

Statistics reveal that cancer patients are projected to increase from 26.7 million to 29.8 million in 2025. Good quality cancer healthcare being an expensive affair should not be a privilege of the elite ones alone. The cancer rates among the large and diverse population of people demand an efficient healthcare infrastructure that should be accessible to all bands of society. Moreover, people have to travel to cities for cancer treatment which makes it much complicated especially for patients from rural areas.

Understanding the need of the hour, Excel Rotary -Trichy Cancer Care Foundation is about to be established in Trichy, a Tier Il city in Central Tamilnadu with the objective to provide comprehensive and compassionate cancer care to patients from various socio-economic backgrounds.
