ABOUT US
Introducing "KARKINIUM" to the Nation and World
KARKINIUM
I am thrilled to present a newly coined term, "KARKINIUM," brought to you by the co-founders of KCC. This term is derived from the Greek word "Karkinos," which was introduced by the ancient father of physician Hippocrates (460–370 BC).
The term "karkinos" directly relates to cancer and malignant growth. By adding the suffix “-ium,” commonly found in scientific nomenclature for elements, compounds, and research terminology, we create a modern identity. Thus, "Karkinium" represents a unified space where humanity collaborates to combat cancer and serves as a distinctive identifier for our mission.
Karkinium Cancer Council (KCC)
Karkinium Cancer Council (KCC) was born out of a simple yet profound belief: Every human life matters, and no one should suffer or die because they cannot afford cancer treatment.
Our journey began when we saw countless families collapsing under the weight of cancer — emotionally, physically, and financially. We realized that while cancer is a medical battle, it is also a social, financial, and psychological struggle. That realization gave birth to the Karkinium Cancer Council, a people’s movement dedicated to awareness, prevention, treatment support, rehabilitation, and long-term solutions.
Why We Exist
- We exist because cancer does not discriminate — and neither do we.
- We do not recognize caste, religion, race, or gender.
- We firmly oppose racism, discrimination, and social divisions.
- Our mission is humanity first — to serve people with dignity, compassion, and equal opportunity.
What We Do
KCC works on a 360° cancer ecosystem model:1. Awareness & Prevention
Awareness rallies, school & college programs, street plays, and digital campaigns.
2. Early Detection & Screening
Low-cost/free screening camps in urban and rural areas. Collaborations with hospitals and diagnostic centers for affordable testing. Free community health talks and training sessions on lifestyle risk factors, prevention, and early signs.
3. Fundraising for Patients
We create EMERGENCY and long-term FUNDRAISER — but exclusively for Cancer and Rare diseases. Families and attendants can register a verified fundraiser. 100% transparency: every rupee is tracked, and utilization reports are shared with donors.
4. Treatment & Care Support
Launching Cancer Care Homes — free accommodation, meals, and psychological support for patients & families. Future chain of Karkinium Chemo Centers in every district of India.
5. Rehabilitation & Employment
“Skill & Job Rehabilitation Program” for survivors in partnership with private & government skill centers. Survivors will be trained, certified, and connected with jobs to rebuild their lives.
6. Training & Capacity Building
Internships for medical/nursing/paramedical students. Online and offline training with certificates issued by KCC. Volunteer and professional development under the “Karkinium Army” banner.
7. Data Collection & Research
Building a national database of cancer patients, in partnership with families, hospitals, and attendants. Data will drive future research, policy advocacy, and institutional development. Plans to establish Karkinium Institute & Research Centers for advanced study, training, and innovation in cancer care.
Who We Are – The Karkinium Army
We proudly call our team and volunteers the Karkinium Army — a global family of survivors, doctors, social workers, students, donors, and everyday heroes. The Army fights not with weapons but with knowledge, compassion, awareness, and unity. From rallies to relief work, from camps to fundraising, the Army stands at the frontlines of humanity’s fight against cancer.
International Vision
KCC is not limited to India. With our global network of medical students, doctors, and volunteers abroad, we will soon launch international awareness programs. We aim to create a borderless movement where patients and families worldwide can access hope, support, and solidarity.
