As part of the initiative, the hospital will organise well-crafted and effective cancer awareness
drives emphasising on regular check-ups, create open platforms for dialogues on cancer and
organise educative and informative counselling programs for patients, family and friends.

The iconic Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital of Mumbai
today announced the launch of dedicated ‘Preventive Cancer Care,’ clinic as a part of its
ongoing cancer awareness drive ‘Nidarr Hamesha.’ In a first-of-its-kind event, the hospital also
launched a support group for cancer survivors, ‘Nanavati Max Saathi,’ and honoured over 15
cancer survivors for their successful battle against the disease.

Speaking on the objective of preventive cancer care clinic, Dr Hemant Tongaonkar, Senior
Director, Urologic and Gynaecologic Oncosurgery and Head of Surgical Oncology, Nanavati Max
Institute of Cancer Care (NMICC), said, “Early detection is the key to elimination of cancer. The
Preventive Cancer Care clinic will focus on early diagnosis and wide-scale screening and
detection campaigns, backed by advanced tools in cancer research.”

The hospital also launched ‘Nanavati Max Saathi,’ a dedicated cancer support group to
communicate with patients beyond traditional treatment approaches and establish an
experience and knowledge sharing platform between cancer survivors, those recently
detected with the disease and renowned cancer specialists. The support group will effectively
address the sheer psychological burden of cancer, which is equally or often, more exhausting
than the disease itself.

NMICC, as part of this initiative will be organising well-crafted and effective cancer awareness
drives emphasising on regular check-ups, creating open platforms for dialogues on cancer and
organising educative and informative counselling programs for patients, family and friends.
