Cancer is a disease that completely wrecks someone's life and the treatment of it costs a fortune. Due to a plethora of reasons some people are often unable to bear these costs. For them, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) act as a knight in shining armour and play a pivotal role in supporting them. They provide comprehensive care which ranges from awareness campaigns, early detection initiatives, and educational programs to financial aid for treatments. NGOs often organize free screening camps in underprivileged areas to identify cancer at early stages. One such NGO is Dr Anil Kumar’s Maheshwar Laxmi Memorial Foundation.
The Maheshwar Laxmi Memorial Foundation has been rigorously working for cancer patients. From providing diagnoses to medications, they do it all. They collaborate with hospitals and specialists to arrange for subsidized or even free treatment for patients who cannot afford it. Additionally, they provide psychological support and counselling services for patients and their families, which are crucial during cancer treatment. The NGO even funds research to discover innovative treatments and push for policy changes to make cancer care more accessible. Through these varied approaches, the Maheshwar Laxmi Memorial Foundation contributes significantly to the medical care and treatment of cancer patients.
