In an article by the Times of India, a new study published in ecancermedicalscience, a cancer journal focused on under-resourced communities, has showed that, 'India has just four palliative-care centres for every 10 million people.' This equates to millions battling cancer, other serious or chronic illnesses and terminal conditions without prompt pain management or support.
For the last 29 years, CanSupport has been striving to bridge the gap and make essential palliative-care accessible to those in dire need having expanded to seven states in the country. We remain committed to providing services free-of-charge to the underserved so if you, or somebody you know, requires assistance or guidance, please free to reach out to us on our Telephone Helpline where Telemedicine advice is also available for geographies outside our operational regions:
011-41010539 / 9899011212 (Mon-Sat 9am-6pm)

CanSupport's Palliative Telemedicine service offers consultation over phone/video calls to support patients and their families who are outside our operational service geographies. It provides professional medical advice and much needed compassionate support to help in pain and symptom management.

As we celebrate CanSupport’s 29th Founder’s Day, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been part of our journey. From humble beginnings to a legacy of compassion and care, each step has been made possible through your support. As we look forward to marking 30 years of service next year, we do so with immense pride and renewed enthusiasm to continue our mission of care, hope, and dignity.

07/11/2025

Every year, National Cancer Awareness Day is observed in India on November 7th as cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with India recording more than 1.5 million new cases each year. Awareness initiatives are critical therefore, to mark this important day, CanSupport organised a special interaction between Dr. Ish*ta Gandhi and the Day Care attendees which made for an informative Q&A. The session aimed to raise awareness about not just cancer prevention but living with the diagnosis. Furthermore to encourage making healthy lifestyle choices, busting common myths, and promoting proactive lifestyles without any stigmas. The patients and the caregivers surely benefitted from the valuable information shared.

CanSupport- Caring for people with Cancer

We are working towards a caring and supportive society where people with cancer and their families live with dignity, hope and comfort. It is our mission to enable these people to make informed choices while receiving appropriate physical, emotional, social and spiritual support.

Harmala Gupta is a cancer survivor and social activist who has pioneered cancer support services in India. After her brush with cancer, she founded the first cancer support group in India, ‘Cancer Sahyog’ in 1990.

In 1996, she initiated a 3 month pilot project in collaboration with the cancer hospital in the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, to bring palliative care to the homes of six patients with terminal cancer along with Ruth Wooldridge, a nurse from the UK. This was the beginning of CanSupport’s home-based palliative care programme.
