Aptly called the Emperor of All Maladies, Cancer has confounded humans for at least a millennia. In India, the situation is dire. The one million cases diagnosed is only the tip of the iceberg, as many Indians die undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, in the course of outdated treatment protocols, and or simply in pain due to a woeful lack of palliative care.
Many of these deaths are preventable. The government foots a large part of medical bills but the demand is simply too much for the inadequately funded public healthcare system to bear. And that is where Non Profit Organisations, manned by dedicated medicos like Dr Venkatraman Radhakrishnan step in.
Join us as Dr Radhakrishnan expertly demystifies the cancer story in India. We discuss a plethora of subjects ranging from regulations, the state of research, social stigma, diagnosis, vaccines, the role of government, and pharma patents for critical oncology drugs to the policy changes it will require for India to script a much needed plot twist.
Dr Venkatraman Radhakrishnan MD DM is a Professor of Medical Oncology and Paediatric Oncology at Cancer Institute, Chennai, India. He takes a keen interest in clinical trials, global health and cancer policy.
