New Delhi : In a groundbreaking initiative, the Cancer Mukt Bharat Campaign, which is said to be India’s biggest campaign on cancer awareness has introduced a free of cost second opinion helpline number for Cancer patients in India . This helpline number offers a free second opinion from leading oncologists, providing crucial guidance to patients navigating the complexities of cancer diagnosis and treatment. The helpline which is easy to remember 9355520202 is accessible to anyone in the country and promises to be a game-changer in the fight against cancer. This helpline will be operational from 10 am to 5 pm from Monday to Saturday. Cancer patients can call on this number to speak to Oncologists directly or even do a video call to discuss about the cancer treatment without paying any fees.
Dr. Ashish Gupta, who is heading Cancer Mukt Bharat said “First step should be the best step” to win over cancer. Second opinion is recommended to almost all patients who have been diagnosed with cancer treatment, as it’s a matter of life and death. It is also important if their condition does not improve despite treatment or if their diagnosis or treatment is in doubt. For cancer treatment, costs may be high and differ from hospital to hospital, so cost is another important reason to get a second opinion.”
The helpline serves as a valuable resource for individuals faced with the daunting challenge of cancer, offering them the opportunity to consult experienced oncologists without the burden of financial constraints. The free second opinion helpline will help in ensuring that patients receive the most accurate and up-to-date information about their condition and treatment options.
Sharing reason behind starting this helpline number Dr. Ashish Gupta who is also popularly known as “New York Oncologist” in India added there’s been a rapid increase in the number of cancer cases in India and there’s a dearth of healthcare facilities and healthcare doctors , so coming to India was more of a calling to serve our own country and help cancer patients get latest cancer treatments in their own country which can be at par with United states.
In the rapidly evolving field of cancer treatment, where new medicines and innovative therapies are continually emerging, a second opinion becomes invaluable.
Dr. Ashish Gupta further said “With continuous research, we are witnessing advancements in cancer care that were unimaginable just a few years ago. These breakthroughs translate into better outcomes and improved quality of life for cancer patients. The second opinion helpline ensures that patients can tap into these advancements and receive update on the most effective treatments available.”
The Cancer Mukt Bharat Campaign’s commitment to making India cancer-free is embodied in the launch of this free second opinion helpline. Dr. Ashish Gupta’s leadership and dedication to ensuring that every individual receives the best possible cancer care highlight the campaign’s ethos. The helpline stands as a testament to the organization’s unwavering commitment, providing a beacon of hope for those affected by cancer and offering them a chance to take the first step toward a brighter, cancer-free future.
