Welcome to Dhairya Cancer Foundation

Greetings!

Welcome to the cancer organization based in Nepal. Still in Nepal, cancer is considered as communicable diseases and cancer patients are ignored.

According to a study, cancer patients are rising and doubled within 2003 to 2011. Nepal’s hospital-based data also prevails the rising number of cancer patients every year. The data also represents 45% male and 55% female.

 According to World Health Organization, cancer is being the second leading cause of death worldwide and approximately 70 percent of deaths occur in low and middle-income countries. Almost one-third of cancer, patient deaths occur due to five leading behavioral and dietary risks such as no physical activities, high body mass index, lack of fruit and vegetable intake, tobacco and alcohol use. Tobacco use is the most important risk factor for cancer and contributes to approximately 22 percent of cancer deaths. Cancer also causing infections such as hepatitis and human papillomavirus (HPV) that are responsible for up to 25 percent of cancer cases in underdeveloped and developing countries.

 Due to poverty, lack of education and basic hygienic necessities, cancer patients are prematurely dying and being a major cause of death in Nepal. Therefore, Dhairya Cancer Foundation is here to help cancer patients and their families. Your small financial contribution can save their life. So, please hurry up to support us.

Thank you.
