Our Cancer prevention activities in Chhattisgarh play a pivotal role in safeguarding the health and well-being of its population while alleviating the burden on its healthcare system. As a tribal region facing healthcare challenges, prioritizing prevention efforts is paramount for reducing the incidence of cancer, thus mitigating the economic strain associated with treatment costs and improving the overall quality of life for individuals and communities.
By promoting healthy behaviors, implementing educational camps and screening programs, and addressing environmental and occupational factors that contribute to cancer risk, Chhattisgarh can significantly reduce cancer-related morbidity and mortality, fostering healthier and more resilient communities.
Niramayah Cancer Foundation is making significant strides in cervical cancer prevention within Chhattisgarh, marking a crucial step in combating this pervasive disease. Through our dedicated efforts, the foundation has impacted more than 2000 women and men against the illness.
By implementing community-based outreach programs and collaborating with
local healthcare providers, Niramayah Cancer Foundation ensures that women
in the rural cohorts have access to life-saving preventive measures and
support.
Our commitment to cervical cancer prevention not only saves lives but also fosters a healthier future for the women of Chhattisgarh, illustrating the profound impact of targeted initiatives in reducing the burden of a preventable disease.
Early detection can significantly improve cancer treatment outcomes. Our cancer prevention efforts include initiatives to increase access to cancer screening tests for breast cancer and VIA tests for cervical cancer. These efforts aim to detect cancer at an early, more treatable stage.
Patient navigation refers to the process of guiding and assisting patients through the complex healthcare system from diagnosis through survivorship or end-of-life care. Often the healthcare barriers increase significantly in a big tertiary healthcare setup. Patient barriers in cancer care can be personal, social, economic, and others. In Chhattisgarh, these include
Centralized healthcare and availability of comprehensive cancer care only in Raipur.
No-to-limited palliative support in most districts.
Lack of timely cancer screening.
Raised out of pocket expenses.
Lack of transportation.
Speaking a language other than Hindi.
Niramayah Cancer Foundation offers navigation support to patients and caregivers of marginalized economic groups, rural and tribal settings in the state. We facilitate timely access to medical, diagnostic and rehabilitation care from pre-diagnosis through all phases of cancer experience. We also assist patients and families by taking appointments, coordinating results and connecting to the local support groups in their respective areas.
Our goal of patient navigation is to improve the patient experience,
reduce disparities in cancer care, and ultimately enhance outcomes by
ensuring that patients receive timely, coordinated, and comprehensive care
tailored to their individual needs.
Increasing awareness about cancer risk factors, symptoms, and prevention strategies is crucial for empowering individuals to take proactive steps to protect their health. Our cancer prevention programs include community education initiatives, health promotion campaigns, and outreach activities to disseminate information about cancer prevention and early detection in rural Chhattisgarh.
Encouraging healthy lifestyle habits such as regular physical activity,
maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, limiting alcohol
consumption, and avoiding exposure to harmful substances can help reduce the
risk of cancer. Our cancer prevention programs focus on promoting these
behaviors through education and community outreach activities.
