A one-stop destination is aimed at enhancing access to cancer care for every Indian
Tata 1mg has launched a comprehensive online cancer care platform that aims to be a one-stop destination for people diagnosed with cancer, their family and friends, to access reliable and accurate information curated by a team of experts. This first-of-its-kind, information-led cancer care platform can be accessed at 1mg.com/cancer-care. It is designed by an expert editorial team at Tata 1mg under the guidance of oncology experts to provide patients and caregivers with in-depth guidance at various steps of their treatment journey.
The platform includes information such as content regarding different types of cancer, prominent oncologists in different cities across India, patient support and access programmes, NGOs working in the field of cancer care and statewide financial schemes.
Prashant Tandon, Co-Founder and CEO, Tata 1mg, said, “ I am happy to announce the launch of our Cancer Care Platform with a single objective: Making cancer care as seamless and as efficient as it can be. I hope that through this platform, we can enable an easier and much more humane experience for patients and caregivers, and bring transparency, quality and trust to the delivery of cancer care.”
The innovative platform is being launched as part of the overall cancer care work that Tata 1mg has been doing for many years in the country to help patients get authentic medicines, quality diagnostic tests, e-consultation with specialists, curated information, and other offerings at affordable prices within the comfort of their homes.
Tata 1mg is already working with over 1 lakh cancer patients to provide them with support and access to services, cancer medicines, and several diagnostic tests.
Tandon added, “We look forward to further enhancing the platform in the future. The mission is to support and empower people and families affected by cancer and bridge the gap between cancer and care.”
In addition, the company has announced that it is also going to further build a comprehensive cancer care programme that will offer holistic cancer care assistance and services such as cancer medicines, advanced diagnostics, chemotherapy tests, second opinions from reputed hospital partners, etc.
