Cancer Patients Aid Association

Mahalaxmi, Mumbai

CANCER is known as the emperor of all maladies because of the fear it spreads through us all. In spite of spectacular improvements in treatment, the disease continues to affect patients and those who care for them, physically, emotionally and financially. In 1969, CPAAs Founder Chairman and CEO, Mr Y. K. Sapru recognised the gaps in addressing cancer as a health problem in India and embarked on creating an appropriate framework for addressing those needs, the Total Management of Cancer, which encompasses Awareness, Early Detection, Support for treatment, Guidance and Counseling, Rehabilitation, Research Studies and Advocacy. With five decades of experience in cancer management, CPAA now mentors other health care organisations across India, based on this holistic philosophy.
