Tata Hospital is India’s foremost centre for cancer treatment, education and research centre. It treats more than 2000 children annually with references from all over the country. More than 90% of the children at TMH come from the low and low-middle socioeconomic strata of the society. Treatment is lengthy and expensive, and these families require significant economic, emotional, and nutritional support.  Without support, almost 1 in 4 families abandon treatment and go back to their home towns and villages.

To ensure that every child with cancer coming to TMH receives treatment and other supports regardless of background of family; Tata Hospital has established a childhood cancer foundation called ImPaCCT Foundation which stands for “Improving Pediatric Cancer Care and Treatment”. One of the greatest needs at Tata Hospital is an Emergency Fund to financially support these families in the devastating weeks after the diagnosis of cancer is made.
