About

Who We Are

Cancer Sarthi Trust is a compassionate, non-profit charitable organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by cancer. Founded on the belief that no one should face cancer alone, the Trust serves as a guiding companion (“Sarthi”) throughout every stage of the cancer journey—from awareness and prevention to early detection, treatment, palliative care, rehabilitation, and survivorship.

At Cancer Sarthi Trust, we recognize that cancer is more than a medical diagnosis—it is a life-altering experience that affects patients, caregivers, and families physically, emotionally, socially, and financially. Through a holistic and patient-centered approach, we strive to provide comprehensive support that addresses not only medical needs but also emotional well-being, pain relief, dignity, and quality of life.

Our Mission

At Cancer Sarthi Trust, we envision a future where every individual has equitable access to cancer awareness, prevention, early diagnosis, quality treatment, compassionate palliative care, rehabilitation, and emotional support. We are committed to reducing the burden of cancer by promoting health education, encouraging timely screening and early detection, facilitating access to affordable and quality healthcare, strengthening supportive and palliative care services, empowering patients and caregivers, and fostering collaborative partnerships that improve quality of life. Through compassion, advocacy, and community engagement, we strive to ensure that no one is deprived of dignity, comfort, hope, or care because of financial or social barriers.

Our Visions

To create a future where every individual has access to timely cancer awareness, early diagnosis, quality treatment, compassionate support, and equal opportunities for recovery—ensuring that no life is lost due to lack of information, resources, or care

Our Story

Cancer Sarthi Trust was established with a simple yet powerful vision—to ensure that every person diagnosed with cancer receives care, dignity, and hope regardless of their financial or social background. Inspired by the struggles faced by countless patients who delayed or discontinued treatment due to lack of awareness, financial hardship, or emotional distress, the Trust was founded to become a dependable support system for those in need.

Over the years, we have evolved into a growing community of healthcare professionals, volunteers, social workers, philanthropists, and compassionate individuals united by a common purpose: to reduce the burden of cancer and improve the lives of those affected by it.

  • Community-based screening and early detection

  • Patient navigation and treatment guidance

  • Financial assistance for treatment
