| The achievement of objectives has gathered momentum
and the trust has already developed some medicines successful in the
treatment of cancer. Regular cancer treatment camps are being conducted
on last Sunday (morning session) and the previous Saturday (afternoon
session) of each month. |
Practitioners of Homoeopathy, Allopathy & Ayurveda attend the
camps, and treat patients after joint consultation. Approximately
500 patients have attended these camps so far. Medicines are given
free of cost to financially poor patients. These camps have become
an asylum to cancer patients who are sidelined from the main stream
of life. |
A building for the trust, a marvel in the traditional architecture
contain a cancer ward, research centre , Library and reading room
and a conference hall apart from a few rooms for patients. |
