Support to Cancer Patients in Mumbai/Navi Mumbai

In partnership with Madat Charitable Trust

Treatment for cancer is very difficult at Government Facilities where huge number of patients are in waiting for good low-cost facilities. Patients are therefore forced to seek large sums as loans to get the treatment carried out at private hospitals where the cost of treatment is much higher. This results in them ending up with a huge unmanageable debt and pushes their families in dire financial circumstances. Mostly due to lack of funds or difficulty in raising sufficient funds, the treatment is delayed or not just taken. Accordingly, Arcil has partnered with Madat Charitable Trust, Mumbai for providing support to poor & needy patients undergoing Cancer treatment for support towards costs of their cancer treatment & therapy at Hospital / centres in Mumbai/Navi Mumbai. In this initiative, MCT would identify the patients based upon their financial condition, urgency of treatment support needed and financial support required. Once found eligible, as MCT has tie up with multiple leading hospitals handling Cancer treatment, they would support the treatment of shortlisted patients at these private hospitals with Arcil’s financial donation and subsidized rates offered by the Hospitals.

Arcil with the support of Roshni Foundation in Faridabad and Santhwana Trust in Bangalore, Chennai, Bhubaneswar & Kolkata, distributed a total of 6335 Deskits to school children during Q3. The NGOs identified a total of 56 schools across 5 states, where children of primary schools were provided these Deskits during various distribution camps which involved team members from the nearby Arcil Branches & its CSR team. This initiative not only benefited the children to improve their learning environment by better posture, eyesight & handwriting, but also provided support to empowering women in and around Kanpur where the said Deskits are manufactured through Deshpande Foundation.
