On November 18, 2024, Harshamitra Cancer and Multi-Speciality Hospital inaugurated its Pink Cross Society at Mariamman Nursing College in Trichy. This initiative is part of the hospital’s ongoing efforts to combat cancer through education, awareness, and youth engagement. The event was marked by enthusiastic participation from students and faculty, reflecting a shared commitment to building a cancer-free society.
The Pink Cross Society aims to unite students and young individuals to raise awareness about cancer and provide moral and logistical support to patients. It focuses on key activities such as conducting cancer awareness events, promoting preventive measures, and supporting cancer screening camps in underserved areas. Members will also have opportunities to engage in research and training programs in oncology, empowering them to take leadership roles in public health initiatives.
Dr. G. Govindarajvardhanan, a surgical oncologist and the driving force behind this initiative, emphasized the importance of involving youth in spreading accurate information about cancer. As a member of the society, students will gain access to exclusive benefits such as expert consultations, research opportunities, and discounts on cancer-related treatments for their families.
The launch aligns with Harshamitra’s broader mission of providing affordable and quality cancer care while fostering community involvement. For more information on the Pink Cross Society and other initiatives, visit [Harshamitra’s official website](https://harshamitra.com).
