About Global Cancer Concern
OUR STORY
On the invitation from Global Cancer Concern UK, Global Cancer Concern India, a not-for-profit, secular, and highly committed apex-level NGO, was founded by General Pannu on March 6, 1998, as a Charitable Trust. Shri R Venkataraman, former President of India, kindly consented to become the Patron-in-Chief.
- "Together let us take their pain away"
became the mantra of the GCCI. The main objective of GCCI was to set up palliative care services for the terminally ill cancer patients. Today, Global Cancer Concern India (GCCI) occupies a prominent place in the country's vanguard of cancer care NGOs. It has been working assiduously for the last 25 years for the care of the disadvantaged section of society. Our activities address key issues that we believe make a difference to the effectiveness and efficiency of cancer care management and complement the national efforts.
