The primary objective of the event was to raise awareness regarding cancer among students, faculty members, and professionals within the healthcare sector, as well as to underscore the importance of proper rehabilitation for patients following their treatment.
Dr. Suhas Kirti Singla, a renowned cancer specialist and hemato-oncologist, attended the event as the keynote speaker. Gastroenterology specialist Dr. Charu Gupta was also present as a special guest.

Emphasizing the critical need to foster greater societal awareness regarding a grave disease like cancer, Dr. Suhas Kirti Singla said that with timely screening (early detection) and appropriate medical intervention, cancer can be controlled to a significant extent. He elucidated that the impact of cancer extends beyond the physical realm, profoundly affecting a patient's mental and social well-being; therefore, it is imperative to place special emphasis on patient rehabilitation alongside medical treatment.
Highlighting the pivotal role of physiotherapy, he noted that it plays a crucial part in enhancing the physical capacity, mobility, and overall quality of life for patients undergoing post-cancer recovery. He further stressed that the coordinated efforts of nursing staff and other allied health services are indispensable for ensuring the holistic recovery of the patient.
