  Non-communicable diseases includingcancer are emerging as major public health problems in India. These diseases are lifestyle related, have a long latent period and needs specialized infrastructure and human resource for treatment. India still has a high burden of preventable communicable diseases and will offer competition for the resource allocation. The risk factors of the major non-communicable diseases (Diabetes Mellitus, Cardiovascular Diseases, Diabetes, and many types of Cancer) are tobacco, dietary habits, inadequate physical activity and alcohol consumption. This offers the prospect for integrated primary prevention strategies.

  Magnitude of theproblem Population based cancer registries within the National Cancer Registry Programme and outside the network has provided a picture of the cancer pattern in India. There are areas, which are largely un-represented, but the general pattern seems to hold good. Based on the cancer registry data it is estimated that there will be about 800,000 new cancers cases in India every year. At any given point there is likely to be 3 times this load that about 240,000 cases. Cancer sites associated with tobacco form 35 to 50% of all cancers in men and about 17% of cancers in women. These cancers are amenable to primary prevention and can be controlled to a large extent.

  Cancer destroys notjust the body and mind, but a family’s finance. By the time is it done, it makes sure there is nothing left to build. General health insurance does not help, and even the most comprehensive plans cannot cover for the entire treatment. The logical step would be to get a critical illness cover. Less than 20% of all Indians are covered under health insurance. Over 80% of Indians are still uninsured, some because they are unaware that they can benefit from government health insurance.

  A parliamentary panelin 2019 said while 16 lakh new cancer cases are diagnosed in India every year, the annual mortality is eight lakh. Treatment costs of cancer also pushes six crore Indians below the poverty line every year. The same panel also noted with concern that 68% of cancer patients succumb to the disease. It recommended a fast expansion and upgradation of cancer-treatment infrastructure and also making cancer care affordable in the country. That is easier said than done as the country lacks resources, leaving enormous gaps in the treatment of the cancer-affected. Many cancer care NGOs play a vital role in bridging the gap through accessible or affordable healthcare, nutrition and other forms of support, giving the patients a fighting chance to survive cancer. On World Cancer Day, we look at 10 cancer care NGOs that are helping patients and also spreading awareness about the disease and its prevention.
