We also organize cancer education for artisans, students (Primary, secondary and higher institutions), the military, and at religious places.

We also organize cancer education for artisans, students (Primary, secondary and higher institutions), the military, and at religious places.
In addition, customized seminars/workshops are organized for families and corporate bodies while we also educate the people via radio, printing of flyers & banners, mouth to mouth campaign, and the social media.
