The Tata Memorial Centre consisting of Tata Memorial Hospital & Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer is an aided institution of Department of Atomic Energy, Govt. of India and engaged in comprehensive care of cancer patients, research and education. Every year nearly 50,000 new patients including referral cases for special investigation and registrations at preventive oncology visit the hospital from all over India and neighbouring country. 60% of the patients are treated free of charges or at nominal rates. In India, Cancer amongst Children is slowly assuming an important place as a major cause of childhood mortality. The Tata Memorial Hospital sees nearly 2000 new patients (under the age of 18 years) every year. Almost 60% of these children need financial help. Very often the parents cannot afford the necessary treatment or delay starting the treatment whilst they collect money from various charitable organizations. This adversely affects the chance of the child being cured. An amount of Rs.8 crores per annum is required to ensure that all the children are treated irrespective of their economic status.
