And a lively cultural programme is going on in a neatly decorated dais along with the touchy speeches from some oncologists.

The unique combination of highlighting precautionary measures against Cancer - a burning issue right now by renowned doctors of our Centre and the exposure of the artistic talents of the Centre’s staff members was certainly a new venture in the field of arranging Cancer Awareness Programme.

To crush Cancer, since 1991 onwards, we have been conducting Cancer Awareness Programme throughout West Bengal. With the alarming rise in the number of Cancer deaths and for World Health Organization’s grave warning, we have decided to intensify ‘No more Cancer Death Campaign” in a bigger canvas.
