The objective of this project is to start cancer treatment immediately after it is diagnosed to reduce chance of cancer spreading.
ICS’ Bridge Fund provides financial assistance for diagnosis and/ or initial, limited-time treatment to needy low-income group patients diagnosed with any kind of curable cancer. The treatment funding is meant to tide over the period until the main financial assistance is sanctioned and will be restricted to the first one month of treatment.
The financial assistance is given to cover costs of any aspect of cancer-directed treatment including surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, medicines, tests conducted through the empanelled hospitals in Karnataka.
