New Delhi, MAY 30, 2018 : Head Neck, especially Tobacco induced Oral(Mouth) Cancer is the most common cancer affecting the Indian male with registry number of more than 200,000 new patients every year. The best way tackle is to detect it early and provide access to quality and right treatment

The tobacco users and local practitioners should be aware of early changes  e.g. white/red patches and decrease in mouth opening which precede frank cancer.

The cure of the this cancer lies only with surgery, even in salvage situations(Cancer has recurred or left behind after previous treatment). Through Microsurgery, we are able to reconstruct the whole mouth after extensive cancer removal.

UMEED is our initiative to provide and facilitate treatment for Oral(Mouth), Breast and Thyroid cancers at subsidized or even without cost to the underprivileged section.
