Study which throws light on Caregivers’ issues in India

🌟 Thrilled to share this important update from my volunteer work! 🌟

I am delighted to announce that as a patient advocate, I had the privilege of co-leading an extraordinary study alongside passionate oncologists from India and the US. Our research focuses on shedding light on the critical issues faced by caregivers and families of cancer patients in India, taking a closer look at the pervasive challenge of Financial Toxicity.

I am immensely proud to share that our study has not only been published in a prestigious Springer Nature 2023 journal but has also garnered tremendous visibility. “The Times of India“, the largest selling English-language daily in the world, recently covered our research, further amplifying its impact and reach.

This study has expanded the conversation on Financial Toxicity beyond the borders of the United States. In examining the burdens faced by families and caregivers in India, we have delved into the intricate psychosocial dynamics that surround these challenges. Our findings underscore the urgent need to address these issues and offer actionable steps forward.

Our research dives deep into the evidence, potential interventions, and future directions to tackle the far-reaching consequences of financial toxicity in the context of cancer diagnoses. By illuminating the ways in which it affects access to care, the mental and emotional well-being of caregivers, and the overall family dynamics, we aim to inspire change and improve the lives of cancer patients and their support systems.

I am humbled by the significance of this work and its potential to bring attention to the unmet needs and challenges faced by cancer caregivers and families in India. Together, we are paving the way for transformative solutions. 🤞

If you’re interested in learning more about our study and recommendations, which encapsulate global perspectives and experiences of families and caregivers, I encourage you to read the published article in the esteemed Springer journal.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported and contributed to this endeavor. Let’s continue our mission to make a positive impact in the lives of those affected by cancer and work towards a brighter future.
