About the Foundation
We are building a route from a first screening to life after treatment, for people who are usually left out of it.
Our mission
To bring early cancer detection, awareness and patient guidance to underserved communities in India, so that more cancers are found when they are easier to treat.
Our approach
We do not build hospitals. We work with them. We take screening and information to where people live, and we stay with patients after a result so that a finding leads to care.
What guides us
Dignity
Consent, privacy and respect come before every camp and every conversation.
Evidence
We follow qualified clinical guidance and public-health evidence, not trends.
Transparency
We publish what is registered, what is pending and what we have counted.
Access
We design for people with little time, money or health literacy, and for people who speak English, Hindi or Telugu.
Leadership
Penumarthi Harikrishna
Founder and Chairman
Leads strategy, partnerships and outreach. He founded PHK Group in 2006 and works with organisations across education, enterprise and cyber-security policy. He started the Foundation to put early screening within reach of communities that hospitals rarely serve.
Medical leadership is being appointed. We will not run screening until a qualified medical director is in place. We will publish the name and registration details here.
