Brahmaputra Cancer Care Society Mumbai, Contact No, Address

Brahmaputra Cancer Care Society (BCCS), Mumbai is a voluntary nonprofit organization established in 2010 for the noble cause of extending support and care to the cancer patients and their families. Lots of cancer patients, especially from the North Eastern states of India come to Mumbai for better treatment and medical support. The patients of the dreaded disease and their families from different backgrounds and ages undergo a damning mental distress, hopelessness and turmoil. Poor economic condition of many of the patients leads to the need of every support right from the onset of their journey for better medical aids. The whole process is excruciatingly painful and devastating. The treatment process pushes them to the verge of losing the bread for the remaining family members.
