Research says in cancer early detection and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes in cancer, making it highly treatable at early stages. With the rising incidences of cancer especially for women in the country the bank has designed a cancer care project especially catering to girls and women age group of 0-40 years, diagnosed with solid tumour cancer.

Women often bear a larger share of caregiving responsibilities for children and their family members. Amidst these a cancer diagnosis can disrupt the caregiving arrangements, potentially adding to financial burdens leading families / women to prioritize family needs over their own health. Such delays in seeking medical care and treatment potentially worsening the prognosis and aggravating financial crisis, as late-stage cancer often requires more intensive and expensive treatment.

The objective is to make cancer treatment affordable and accessible to females by partnering in treatment cost to reduce the economic burden essentially eroding savings of entire family or unvaryingly bringing them in the vicious debt trap as late-stage cancer often requires more intensive and expensive treatment.
