I like to call it our 'Compass of purpose' There are these days when topics just linger around without closure, deadlines are stretched, approvals get delayed and after serious progress we seem like we are back to square one, due to some black swan landing on our table. You are shaken a bit about what's in store. A moment of uncertainty. And then there are moments like these, in this video about Dibrugarh Cancer Center, which was set-up to address the challenge of accessibility and affordability of Cancer care. But for this comprehensive Cancer care Institute, patients from Dibrugarh, Assam used to travel 24-hours by train to the neighboring state's metro city of Kolkata, covering a distance of ~1000 km. These are the moments which align us to our North star, re-affirming our goal and vision, rejuvenating us to deliver better outcomes each day - thus becoming our 'Compass of purpose' #siemenshealthineers #accesstocare https://lnkd.in/gJaBiEpr

India's oncology landscape is evolving rapidly, yet faces significant challenges that call for urgent attention. With over 1.3 million new cancer cases diagnosed annually, the burden on healthcare infrastructure is immense. While advancements in diagnostics and treatment options—such as targeted therapies and immunotherapies—are promising, access remains limited to urban centers, leaving rural populations underserved. However, the rise of telemedicine, government initiatives like Ayushman Bharat, and growing public-private partnerships are steps in the right direction. The future of oncology in India requires a focused effort on early detection, robust policy implementation, and equitable access to cutting-edge treatments. Together, healthcare professionals, policy-makers, and innovators can shape a brighter, cancer-free future for millions. #OncologyInIndia #CancerCare #HealthcareRevolution

Today we discussed the expansion of our Patient Navigation and MeMoSA® programmes in Sarawak, with Pengarah Kesihatan Negeri Sarawak Dr Veronica Lugah, so that more patients in need will benefit from these programmes. Our Patient Navigation Programme (PNP) provides personalised guidance to breast cancer patients, especially those in underserved communities, ensuring they can navigate the complexities of the healthcare system. It is particularly beneficial for those facing barriers such as financial constraints or logistical challenges in accessing timely cancer treatment. MeMoSA®(Mobile Mouth Screening Anywhere) is a groundbreaking mobile app designed to empower healthcare providers in the early detection of oral cancer. This is especially crucial for populations in remote areas where access to specialised care is extremely limited. Early detection helps to prevent advanced-stage diagnoses, ultimately saving lives and reducing treatment costs. #CancerResearch #PatientCare #breastcancer #oralcancer #CancerAwareness #HealthcareInnovation #CommunityHealth #Sarawak

Very important info on understanding the concept.

We Need a #cancers Hospital in Taunsa We are deeply concerned about the rising number of cancer deaths in Taunsa and surrounding areas. Our heartfelt condolences go out to those who have lost loved ones to this terrible disease. The recent statistics are alarming as shared by PAYAM E TAUNSA: Kalar Wala - 10 deaths Kot Mohi - 12 deaths Jhok Ranjha - 17 deaths Kot Qaisrani - 62 deaths Basti Buzdar - 10 deaths Jalwali - 19 deaths These numbers highlight the critical need for a dedicated cancer hospital in Taunsa. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in the fight against cancer, and currently, residents in our area face significant challenges in accessing proper healthcare. A cancer hospital in Taunsa would provide: *Early detection services:* This could save countless lives. *Treatment options:* Patients wouldn't have to travel long distances for care. *Support services:* This would be invaluable for patients and their families. Let's raise our voices together! We urge the government and healthcare authorities to take immediate action to establish a cancer hospital in Taunsa. Share this post and use the hashtag #CancerHospitalForTaunsa to show your support. Together, we can make a difference! #Punjabhealth #cancersupport #cancerawareness #cancerresearch #cancerprevention #healthcarecommunity #Taunsa #DeraGhaziKhan

BEAT THE CANCER, ASSAM AND TATA TRUSTS SHOW THE WAY TO THE COUNTRY How this Indian state is showing the way to treat cancer #patients The #Assamgovernment acknowledged the trio of critical issues, namely the lack of infrastructure hindering accessibility, the affordability of treatment protocols, and late detection. Hospitals were ill-equipped to address the chronic burden of care, forcing patients to travel outside the state. The achievement of a significant breakthrough, referred to as the Assam Cancer Model (ACM) by these authors, necessitated a political, policy, and administrative vision to disrupt the negative feedback loops. This model represents a collaborative effort between the Government of Assam (Assam Cancer Care Foundation) and Tata Trusts, a non-sectarian philanthropic organisation in India that revolutionised #cancerhealthcare delivery through the establishment of TATA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL in Mumbai in 1941. Besides healthcare, the Trusts actively work with various communities, positively influencing livelihoods through the creation of self-sustaining ecosystems. The most noteworthy initiatives involve promoting health-seeking behaviour for the screening of oral, breast, and cervical cancers. #cancer #attack #attackoncancer #fightingcancer #India #assam #tatas #cancers #innovative #innovation #ratantata #tatatruts #philanthropy #northeast #policy #goodinitiative #initiative #good #healthiswealth #awareness #aware #diseases #disease #NCDs #NCD
