Tata trust cancer hospital tirupati

Nitturu Khadervalli was looking for reassurance, an inclination and a willingness by the other side to understand the predicament he was in and to explain the path ahead. A small-time contractor from Rajampet village in the Annamayya district of Andhra Pradesh, Mr Khadervalli was not asking for much, but he had not found that sort of support during the initial days of the nerve-wracking period since his wife, 46-year-old Ameenamma, was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a friend who told Mr Khadervalli about the then upcoming Sri Venkateswara Institute of Cancer Care & Advanced Research (SVICCAR), the state-of-the-art cancer facility in Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh that became functional in May 2022. Ms Ameenamma has been undergoing treatment at SVICCAR for the last two years, from the time it was a day-care centre, and she is on the mend.

Financially and mentally, we are more at peace.” The expenditure factor, always a burden when cancer strikes, was fundamental for Mr Khadervalli, who has spent in excess of Rs 1.4 million so far on Ameenamma’s treatment, a hefty chunk of it borrowed from friends and family. Compassion, affordability and qualit...

As a member of the National Cancer Grid, a forum of 106 cancer hospitals, Tata Trusts have access to experts across these centres to enable its various cancer initiatives. The Trusts plan to raise funds internally and externally to finance these not-for-profit hospital projects, ...
