TEZPUR, Sept 25: Tezpur Cancer Care Centre, a unit of the Assam Cancer Care Foundation, has launched ‘Project Soundarya,’ a special initiative for cancer patients under the guidance of renowned oncologist Dr. Venkata Pradeep Babu. This initiative aims to support cancer patients, particularly women, who face hair loss due to chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Many female cancer patients experience hair loss during their treatment, which can lead to depression and social withdrawal. Some patients even abandon their treatment. ‘Project Soundarya’ was launched in collaboration with the Council For Child Welfare (ICCW), Tezpur branch, led by social worker and physician Dr. Lakshmi Goswami, with support from Natco CSR.
