Seethi Haji Cancer Detection and Treatment Centre
Cancer not only affects a person's health but also their financial and emotional well-being. After losing both his father and daugh- ter to cancer, Mr. PK Basheer was inspired to establish the Seethi Haji Cancer Detection and Treatment Centre in Edavanna, a rural area in Kerala. This facility provides essential cancer care services to underprivileged patients.
To further enhance our services, we are working towards establishing a radiation unit and a pathology lab in the near future.
