Cancer Care

To mark National Hospice and Palliative Care Month, the Nellai Cancer Care Centre, in collaboration with the Sakuntala & Natarajan Foundation, hosted a two-day Continuing Medical Education (CME) Program on Palliative Care on November 1st & 2nd, 2025, at the upcoming Nellai Cancer Hospital, Sengulam — a project of Compassionate Cancer Care.

The program brought together doctors, nurses, and caregivers to share insights and strengthen their capacity to provide holistic, compassionate care to patients and families affected by cancer.

This initiative reflects our continued commitment to building an affordable, community-based model of cancer and palliative care for the people of Tirunelveli and beyond.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our donors, partners, and well-wishers for standing with us on this journey of care, compassion, and community building.

As we step into another year of service, celebration, and hope, we remain deeply grateful for your trust and support. Together, we continue to bring light where it’s needed most — one child, one family, one life at a time.

The opportunity of living a full life is a rare and precious gift for those diagnosed with Cancer. Udhavum Ullangal is making all efforts to make sure that every person gets this opportunity to fight the war against Cancer.

Swarnam is one out of the million victims, fallen into the trap of cancer. It’s a trap that cannot be escaped easily without an immense amount of unconditional love and support. Not having a single penny to spare, Swarnam had lost faith in something called hope, when diagnosed with cancer.

Udhavum Ullangal stepped up to not only give back that long-lost hope but also to give a new life, by providing free surgery and 8 days of treatment filled with utmost care and perfection. The degree of perfection is so high that she can live happily without any pain or effects even today, as we have just finished writing another example about how our actions are slowly making a difference to the lives around us.
