Project Scope

Components of the Project

The project has the following five components:

	Primary prevention, Public awareness & Education

	Early Cancer Detection Centres

	Ahsania Mission Cancer Hospital

	Home and Palliative Care Services

Primary prevention, Public awareness & Education

One third of all cancers can be prevented, one third can be cured and the rest incurable cancer patients can be kept symptom free. There is a lack of awareness among the people about the various aspects of cancer e.g. causes, symptoms and its prevention, control and treatment. The awareness/ education programme will be directed to –

	create awareness among the people about cancer.

	educate the people about the various ways of prevention of common cancers.

	disseminate information about the facilities available for the treatment of cancer.

	bring forward Ahsania Mission’s anti-smoking drive and EIC materials production programme.

Early Cancer Detection Centres

There was a time when cancers were considered beyond any cure. But it is now known that cancer is curable if detected at an early stage. The project therefore envisages the establishment of six Early Cancer Detection Centres at six Divisional Headquarters of the country for the purpose of -

	undertaking investigations for the early detection of cancer

	referring cancer patients for treatment to the Cancer Hospital

	carry out primary prevention activities

	follow up of cancer patients.

	provide all sorts of treatment to cancer patients.

	collaborate, cooperate and keep liaison with national and international institutes, organizations and centers engaged in research, diagnosis and treatment of cancers.

	provide higher training for doctors and nurses on cancer related subjects.

Home and Palliative Care Services

Home and Palliative Care Services will be organized to-

	Extend service to those patients who do not need to stay in the hospital for long for intensive care.

	Treat the terminal cases in the home atmosphere to get better psychological support.

	To keep open the scarce hospital beds for more critical patients.
