In a world grappling with the relentless challenge of cancer, a beacon of hope emerges in the form of “Celebrate Hope,” a pioneering programme initiated by senior oncologist Dr. Vikash Kumar Agarwal. This extraordinary initiative, organized by the V Care Cancer Centre (VCCC) in collaboration with the Global Cancer Trust, is set to commemorate World Cancer Day. The primary objective is to demonstrate that human resilience can be a potent force against this formidable adversary while paying heartfelt tribute to the valiant cancer warriors who navigate the often treacherous path of this illness.
VCCC, strategically located near Phoolbagan metro station in the heart of Kolkata, stands as a symbol of progress in the fight against cancer. Going beyond conventional boundaries, it strives to offer comprehensive care to patients, encompassing the latest diagnostic and treatment procedures. Specializing in oncological services, VCCC is committed to providing not just medical intervention but a holistic approach that includes post-chemotherapy and post-surgery home care services, embodying an umbrella of hope.
At the core of VCCC’s mission is the vision to provide the best cancer care with a humane touch. The center, founded by Senior Oncologist Dr. Vikash Kumar Agarwal and Health Coach Vibha Agarwal, propels the mission “Together, We Can Cure Cancer.”
Dr. Vikash Kumar Agarwal, a distinguished oncosurgeon, emphasizes the curability of cancer when detected early. Over the past two decades, VCCC has successfully executed numerous holistic cancer treatments and conducted over 300 awareness programs. Its impact extends across different regions in the country, establishing itself as a pioneering force in bridging the gap between rural and urban areas through initiatives like the unique Tumour Board.
The Tumour Board, a distinctive feature of VCCC, facilitates cancer treatment by providing both physical and virtual consultancy. It serves as a crucial link in ensuring that medical expertise transcends geographical barriers, contributing to a more equitable distribution of cancer care resources.
The “Celebrate Hope” program is not just an event; it is a gathering of forces determined to make a difference. The awareness program saw the participation of notable figures such as former Indian National Team footballer Surojit Bose, actors Kaushik Chakraborty and Debraj Mukherjee, and singers Satadal Chatterjee. The presence of cancer survivors and warriors added a poignant touch to the event, fostering an interactive session that aimed to motivate and inspire.
Vision of the Centre: To create a World free from cancer by establishing better medical accessibility for all.
As the “Celebrate Hope” program unfolds, it sends a powerful message to the world – that hope is not just a sentiment; it is a catalyst for change. In unity, faith, and action, we can turn the tide against cancer, creating a future where the word ‘cancer’ no longer elicits fear but instead evokes memories of triumph, resilience, and, above all, hope.
