Over these 43 years, the impact of the foundation has been immeasurable touching the lives of millions of individuals through equipping 100’s of rural hospitals PAN INDIA with medical diagnostic equipment as well as mobile vans, supporting treatment of thousands of cancer patients annually, nutrition of pediatric cancer patients, providing scholarships for meritorious and deserving students and holistic development of rural schools in India. NDF has also worked during the national calamities in India, be it the earthquakes in Latur and Bhuj or the floods in Mumbai, Bihar and Raigad.

Appeal

We believe, no lives should be lost due to unaffordability of cancer treatment.

Cancer is not only a disease but a trauma through which a family goes through. The aim of our ' Save a Life Campaign' project is to raise funds for cancer patients from disadvantaged families who are taking treatment at Tata Memorial Hospital Mumbai, Silchar Hospital in Assam, Balco Hospital in Raipur and other government hospitals pan India. Many of these patients come from rural parts of India and face tremendous challenges, besides the disease, when they come to Mumbai. Patients on an average have to undergo 6-12 chemotherapy cycles. Cost of each cycle ranges from 5K to 15K which is taken over a period of a year. Every year, NDF supports approximately 500 needy cancer patients in their journey through cancer.

Nargis Dutt Foundation is also supporting the nutrition of cancer patients monthly, children and adults, who are taking treatment at Tata Memorial Hospital.

This is only possible with the generous donation of the community. No donation is too small and every donation will receive a Tax Benefit.

Join hands and help make a difference.
