Speaking at the inaugural of the conclave, Rajender said, “Early detection is very important and everyone who is above 35 should get a yearly assessment done without fail. Also, treatment should become affordable even for the poor in this country.”

Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan who inaugurated the conclave said ignoring the early symptoms are the cause of the advancement of cancer. It is important that we get assessments done and visit doctor on a regular basis.”

Experts from Indian healthcare sector revealed that as per World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines one cancer centre is required for every one million population. However, in India only 400 cancer care centers cater to a population of 1.25 billion people.

“Private and government sectors must come together and set up more than 2,000 cancer centres to strengthen India’s capacity to manage the disease,” said Dr P Vijay Ananda Reddy, chairman, organising committee, Apollo Cancer Conclave.
