Spandana Foundation - Spandana Oncology Centre

(The Community & Compassion Wing of Spandana Oncology Centre)

Spandana Foundation was created with a single belief at its heart — every person, regardless of income, education, or location, deserves access to quality cancer care, awareness, and support. Built on the values of compassion, dignity, and community upliftment, the Foundation works to bridge the gap between advanced medical care and the realities of everyday people across Karnataka and India.

The Foundation is registered as Spandana Cancer Care Foundation, with a mission deeply rooted in service, affordability, and community well-being. It represents the humanitarian arm of Spandana Oncology Centre, ensuring that no patient is left behind due to lack of awareness, finances, or access to timely treatment.

Our Purpose

The Spandana Foundation exists to support individuals and families facing cancer through:

--> Financial assistance for those unable to afford diagnosis or treatment.

--> Awareness programs on early detection and prevention

--> Medical guidance and counseling for patients and caregivers

--> Education, research, and public health initiatives that improve cancer outcomes

These reflect the core objectives laid out in the Trust Deed, including providing medical aid without discrimination, supporting children and the elderly, creating awareness on harmful lifestyle practices, increasing early-detection efforts, and raising the standard of cancer services across India.
