On World Cancer Day, SBI General, announced that it has joined hands with CanKids, the National Society for Change for Childhood Cancer in India, an NGO working across the entire spectrum of childhood cancer care. This partnership will help the children suffering from cancer with medical facilities.
According to the Indian Cancer Society, more than 50,000 new childhood cancer cases are added every year in India. SBI General recognises that many families have limited economic resources to access quality healthcare and treatment for children suffering from cancer.
Said PC Kandpal, MD & CEO, SBI General Insurance: “At SBI General, we are committed to contribute to the society at large, and will continue our strategic associations with organisations that drive a positive impact. As an organisation, ‘health’ is one of our key focus areas even under CSR efforts, and our association with CanKids allows us to support underprivileged children and families battling cancer by helping them avail the right treatment.”
