HCG Foundation provides financial support to those who cannot afford cancer treatment and ensures access to quality cancer treatment for those in need. The necessity of the foundation is to alleviate the economic burden and thus in turn the psychological burden of bearing the cost of the disease. The fund is utilized on a case-by-case basis barring extenuating circumstances. Only those who show critical financial need are helped in this program. We mainly focus on pediatric and young male and female adult patients.
