## Mission

To make the cancer journey less frightening and less isolating — catching cancer earlier, treating it sooner, and ensuring that a diagnosis is never a sentence dictated by a family's income. Oncourage works on the conviction that no one should face cancer alone or be denied care because of financial hardship.

## Programmes

### 1. Cancer awareness and education
Community outreach programmes, workshops and campaigns that dispel myths about cancer and inform people about risk factors, warning signs, and preventive lifestyle choices. Delivered in neighbourhoods, workplaces and schools.

### 2. Prevention and screening camps
Free and subsidised cancer screening camps held across Vashi, Thane and Panvel, bringing early-detection services directly to underserved communities. Focus on early detection, which improves both treatment outcomes and affordability.

### 3. Financial support for patients
Assistance to eligible patients with the costs of diagnosis, treatment, medication and ongoing care, so that lack of funds does not prevent access to treatment.

### 4. Logistical and emotional support
Help navigating appointments, coordinating care, and managing the practical and emotional challenges of treatment for patients and their families.
