Mission statement:
I work for a hospital (http://cacharcancerhospital.org) whose mission is “to provide comprehensive cancer care to people especially the underserved through prevention, treatment, palliation, education and research”. Vision is to ensure that no individual develops cancer that can be prevented, that no patient is denied appropriate cancer treatment for want of resources, that no patient dies in agony and indignity and that no family suffers treatment induced poverty and grief.
I believe my experience and training will help the ‘Breast Cancer Hub’ in all its activities.
