Cancer has quietly become one of India’s most pressing public health challenges. While advances in medical science have improved treatment outcomes, access to timely cancer care remains unequal especially for rural, low-income, and underserved communities. For thousands of families every year, a cancer diagnosis is not just a medical emergency, but a financial and emotional crisis.
This is where nonprofit cancer hospitals and NGOs like Saidham Cancer Hospital play a life-saving role. Through a combination of donations, CSR partnerships, and community-driven healthcare models, Saidham Cancer Hospital ensures that cancer care is accessible, ethical, and affordable for those who need it the most.
The Real Cost of Cancer in India
Cancer treatment in India can cost anywhere between ₹2 lakh to ₹15 lakh or more, depending on the stage and type of cancer. For families surviving on daily wages or marginal incomes, this cost is devastating. As a result:
- Many patients delay diagnosis
- Cancer is detected at advanced stages
- Treatment is discontinued midway
- Mortality rates increase unnecessarily
Despite government schemes, gaps in awareness, infrastructure, and last-mile access continue to exist—especially in rural India.
Why Cancer Care Must Be a CSR Priority
Under Schedule VII of the Companies Act, healthcare is a key CSR focus area. Among all healthcare interventions, cancer care delivers one of the highest social returns on investment.
CSR investment in cancer care helps:
- Address a growing national health burden
- Create measurable, reportable outcomes
- Improve ESG and SDG alignment
- Strengthen community trust and goodwill
By supporting cancer care, corporates move beyond compliance and contribute to long-term nation-building.

How Donations Create Direct, Measurable Impact

The Power of Individual Donors in Cancer Care

- Fund emergency diagnostics
