At India’s one of largest medical conference, At Fortis Cancer Summit 2026 in Delhi, spoke about two realities we can no longer ignore:
1) Access
> For most cancer patients in India, the challenge is not just the disease – but access to treatment.
> Even when “gold standard” therapies exist, they are often financially out of reach.
> Ayushman Bharat insurance scheme still hardly covers any targeted therapies – leaving a critical gap.
> Timely access to Research, Clinical Trials, & latest Treatment is still a dream in most cases in India.
We cannot build a system where survival depends on affordability.
2) Awareness
At the conference, our new initiative of lung cancer awareness effort as part of the White Ribbon Project India – We shared the White Ribbon with oncologists, industry leaders, hospitals, non-profits and policymakers – bringing attention to a cause that needs far greater visibility.
Because awareness grows when voices come together. Change will require both – better access to treatment, and stronger collective awareness.
And it was a warm moment to get hand written note from a cancer survivor 🎗️ 💙
