Let's do something bigger

Shankara Cancer Foundation is a charitable trust headed by a dedicated Oncologist Dr.Sinha and assisted by the Shringeri Shankar Mutt Trust, Bangalore.  This Trust is already running a full-fledged hospital Ranga Dore Hospital, where treatment for the needy is offered at subsidised rates or even free, for all kinds of ailments.  However, of late, the hospital has been receiving increasing number of poor patients suffering from cancer and the hospital does not have enough infra-structure to meet the increasing demand.  Thus a separate Trust was formed and a special hospital to cater to cancer patients is being constructed just beside Ranga Dore Hospital, Chamarajpet.  The aim of this hospital to extend free treatment to the really needy people and offer subsidies to those who cannot afford the full expenditure.  The hospital is being equipped with all the latest technological support and every patient, rich or poor, will be treated alike.  The Trust is manned by very dedicated and compassionate staff members.  The following is the list of the aspects that can be donated by willing donors.  Many benevolent donors have already been doing their bit.  But, since it is a huge project, much more assistance is welcome.
