Cancer Research UK Cambridge Centre’s Post

"My biggest hope is for care to be more personalised and equitable. It’s really unfair that so many people are restricted in their ability to be treated with the best possible therapeutics because of where they are, or which part of society they belong to."

Twelve years later, Swetha has launched The Lalitha Foundation, a social enterprise to support the mental health of cancer patients in India. She’s helped to design a portable diagnostics tool to detect head and neck cancers. What inspired her to take this path? And how will her work make a difference to cancer sufferers in remote areas?
