Axis Bank partners with cancer care and research institutions in India through various initiatives
Kolkata: Axis Bank has partnered with three reputed cancer institutions in India - National Cancer Grid (NCG) under Tata Memorial Centre, The Indian Cancer Society (ICS), and the St. Jude India Childcare Centres, for building India’s digital capabilities in oncology, enhancing access to cancer care, raising awareness on early cancer diagnosis and treatment, and advancing cancer research and innovation, a press release said.
According to the Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN), cancer cases in India are projected to rise significantly, reaching 2.08 million by 2040, marking a sharp increase of 57.5 percent from 2020, highlighting the urgent need to scale up India’s efforts in cancer research and innovation, available medical infrastructure, and mitigating the heavy patient burden in accessing treatment.
Axis Bank is enhancing cancer care through key partnerships focused on research, prevention, and patient support.
In collaboration with the National Cancer Grid, it is driving initiatives like a national tele-consultation platform, a tumour biobank, and digital oncology records to benefit over 300 hospitals.
Partnering with the Indian Cancer Society, Axis Bank is supporting cancer screening and awareness programs for 8 lakh beneficiaries while funding treatment for low-income patients.
Further, Axis Bank has helped St. Jude India Childcare Centres establish a 26-unit facility in Hyderabad, offering safe accommodation for children undergoing cancer treatment.
