The Building of a Cancer Center for the Rural Folk
1Department of Surgical Oncology, Mahatma Gandhi Cancer Hospital, Miraj -416410, Dt Sangli, Maharashtra, India.
Abstract:
The requirement of rural folk differs from the requirements of the well-off urbanites. In developing nations, the onus of their healthcare falls upon the doctors practicing in the periphery. Since public awareness and support are minimal, income has to be generated from the poor folk. Hard work and simple living by the caretakers are the cornerstones to divert all profits for further growth of the hospital. Cancer therapy does not always require big investments. Scientific healthcare can be provided to the poor by doctors with good knowledge, hard work, and good skills.
