What is Pink Cross Society?
It is a community consisting of students and youth uniting together to work for the welfare of the cancer patients and for prevention of cancer in the society.
Who launched Pink Cross Society?
Rose garden, a charitable trust for cancer patients is functioning at Trichy from 2008. It is supported by Harshamitra Cancer Hospital, Trichy.
The hospital was founded by Dr. G. Govindarajvardhanan, a surgical oncologist who lost his father to Larynx cancer and then got inspired to pursue the field of oncology. Similarly, his wife also pursued radiation oncology. Both of them were gold medalists in the field. Together they formed the hospital named Harshamitra and also founded a trust in the name of Dhanabackiyam Ganesan Pon Memorial Trust, nick named as Rose Garden. Rose Garden has been involved in various cancer awareness activities, cancer screening camps and providing free treatment to the poor cancer patients.
As a step towards educating the students and youth community and uniting them as warriors against cancer, the trust founded by the two doctors have now launched this PINK CROSS SOCIETY.
