Mrs. Usha Thorat, National Managing Trustee of the Indian Cancer Society, emphasized, "Cancer remains a pressing global health challenge, impacting the lives of millions in India and around the world. The proactive initiative by the ICS Delhi branch leverages the potential of mobile technology to offer comprehensive information and guidance to those affected by cancer and their families. On behalf of the National Managing Committee of the ICS, we take great pleasure in launching this distinctive app today, accessible in five languages - Hindi, English, Kannada, Marathi, and Bengali. Anticipate more features and languages to be seamlessly integrated in the coming phases."
Speaking on the occasion, Mrs. Jyotsna Govil, Chairperson of the ICS Delhi Branch, remarked, "In response to specific insights gleaned from community needs and the current demand, ICS has meticulously crafted this mobile application. The 'Rise Against Cancer' app is envisioned to empower individuals affected by cancer, allowing them to take charge of their health. Featuring diverse sections such as an information hub, resource library, events, community and support groups, along with a dedicated news and updates section, the app is currently accessible in five languages, covering information on four types of cancer at this stage."
