Help make quality cancer care accessible to those who need it most.
For a family facing cancer, the cost of treatment can be as frightening as the diagnosis itself.
Cancer Charity Trust partners with organisations that want to make quality cancer care more accessible to patients who cannot afford it.
From supporting cancer treatment and patient care to strengthening healthcare infrastructure and community outreach, your CSR contribution can help reduce the financial and geographic barriers that prevent patients from receiving timely care.
Together, we can make quality cancer care possible for more patients and families.
CCT is partnering with SSO Belgaum Hospital to expand access to affordable, high-quality cancer care for patients across North Karnataka.
Belagavi sits at the intersection of Karnataka, Maharashtra and Goa, making it a referral centre for over 12–15 lakh people. Belagavi accounts for 7–10% of cancer cases in Karnataka — second only to Bengaluru — yet there is very limited education around cancer and access to screening. There is no comprehensive cancer centre in the region, resulting in significant outflow to larger cities: the entire North Karnataka region has only 3–4 functional cancer treatment facilities, while Bengaluru alone holds more than half of Karnataka's 40+ AERB-approved radiotherapy centres.
The proposed centre aims to provide comprehensive cancer care under one roof — advanced surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, diagnostics and critical care — designed to serve 5,000+ patients every year.
Across all treatment types and organ systems.
An initial investment of ₹10.5 Cr is required to build a modern, high-quality set-up with the latest equipment. These funds will be used to benefit Yojana and scheme patients.

Living on a modest monthly income, Kalpana was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and urgently needed surgery costing ₹4 lakh. With a daily-wage-earning husband, two children in school and elderly parents to support, the treatment cost was beyond what her family could manage.
With donor support through CCT, 25% of her treatment bill was covered, helping her access the surgery she urgently needed.
After spending ₹1.5 lakh on his first cancer surgery, Santosh faced a recurrence less than a year later. The next phase of treatment was estimated at ₹5 lakh — an overwhelming amount for a family supporting two children in college.
CCT support reduced the family's treatment burden by 25%, helping Santosh continue the critical care he needed.
