Chairman’s Message
CPAA initiated its activities by just distributing fruits and
newspapers to cancer patients in the hospital wards. We then
began helping a few patients each month with free medicines.
Gradually, we began counseling patients and their relatives. We
moved on to organizing cancer screening camps and then
established a dedicated Patient Care department. It has taken
us 4 decades of hard-work, enthusiasm, total dedication and the
passion to alleviate the suffering of cancer patients to reach this
position.
Today, CPAA is recognised both nationally and internationally as
one of the leading cancer NGOs of India. Premier educational institutes like the Harvard, Princeton
and Duke Universities choose to send their students to CPAA as a part of their internship program.
International schools like United World College of South East Asia (UWCSEA) have selected CPAA
as their charity project and have organized several fundraiser events for the same. International
medical journals like The Lancet Oncology have published articles related to CPAA’s activities in
their journals.
These positive strokes of appreciation serve as a reward for the dedication and collective efforts of
our team. But that doesn’t mean that we just rest on our laurels. We derive encouragement from
this, recharge our batteries and prepare for a new leap, a new resolution, a new goal; keeping in
mind our motto of ‘Total Management of Cancer’.

Prevention & Early detection
Director: Neeta More
In the year 2010, our aim was to increase the number of cancer awareness lectures and
entertainment programmes for patients while concentrating equally on our cancer screening camps.
We succeeded by organizing 11 such programmes within the year. We were also able to help a
number of patients at various hospitals with donation in kind. Through carefully planning we were
able to also raise funds so as to make our department financially independent. This we were able to
do due to the continuous support, tireless efforts, co-operation from all our doctors, CPAA members,
staff and several social activists and corporates, whom I give my sincere and special thanks.

Patient Care
Director: Vinaya Chacko
The year 2010 has been a good year for us due to the collective effort & focused determination of our
small but competent team. We were able to complete at least 60% of the goals set by us. We were
able to completely take care of Chemotherapy, Radio therapy & Prosthesis requirements of patients
at 3 major hospitals. We have been able to match the rise in childhood leukemia cases, by helping
over 315 such patients. Each patient sent to us by doctors and volunteers, comes with hope and faith
and goes back with a positive attitude after our counseling.
One of our major objectives in 2011 would be to start a Palliative Day Care Centre, a childhood
support group along with supporting maximum women cancer patients with their rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation
Executive Director: Manju Gupta
A significant year: Sales income jumped by another 35%.
The Taj Mahal Hotel group was the major contributor to this success. With multiple new properties
opening up and CPAA being on their preferred vendor list, we were flooded with linen orders. This
not only resulted in increased revenues, but prompted us to expand our production capacity.
Rehabilitation Centre now has 2 Tailoring units comprising of 20 imported sewing machines and 8
supplementary machines, working 9 am to 9 pm, giving opportunity to new entrants to learn and to
earn.
But it is the every smiling Bessy Nadar that brings sunshine into the Rehabilitation Centre. A breast
cancer survivor, Bessy is the sole bread winner for her idle husband and two teenage sons one of
whom is mentally challenged. Very frail of body but very strong of spirit, Bessy is always very calm
and serene, punctual and hard working. In 2010, one by one, Bessy lost all her teeth due to the
progression of her disease, but not for one day she lost her smile! Now she wears an artificial
denture, but to us her smile is even more enigmatic.

Special Projects
Executive Director: Shubha Maudgal
At this time every year, the Special Projects department takes a deep breath and look back at the
year gone by. Today we can take pride in how far we have come not just in the short term-in 2010,
but the long term. The theme for AGM 2000 was taking CPAA into the new millennium. A decade
later, we can truly say that we have arrived. And the Special Projects Department takes immense
pride and pleasure in what we have done to drive this change.
Our website and the online payment gateway have revolutionized the way CPAA is perceived all over
the world and in remote areas of our own country. Every day we receive and respond to emails that
provide much needed information and assistance. Through the website we have communicated with
over 30,000 people, some 20,000 of whom continue to follow us through our newsletter. Our
department has created innovative means of fund raising such as the annual Pinktober programme
at Hard Rock Café where we organized awareness lectures in Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad
and Pune. CPAA now consistently raises significant funds through the Mumbai marathon, celebrity
dinners and cricket matches. We are the only NGO to get funding from the UICC twice under their
Capacity Building Programme. Even our awareness lectures and literature have become a source of
funds and our art exhibition continues to touch new levels of success.

Art exhibition: The annual art exhibition has grown into an event that is anticipated by artists
and art lovers alike. This year we raised Rs. 35 lakh from the effort.
Awareness lectures: As a part of our stated objective to raise awareness about cancer, CPAA
delivers lectures at various forums. Since 2009, we have been charging a nominal fee of Rs.
5,000 per session from corporates. The effort has raised Rs. 1,00,000.
Birthday party: Many people today prefer to celebrate their anniversaries and birthdays in a
meaningful manner by asking attendees to donate the amount they planned to gift, to a charity
instead. CPAA has received such beneficence on two occasions-the engagement of Ajit Sarnaik
and Syana Mukadam and Aaryan Khatwani’s first birthday. Rs. 68,000 was received.
Celebrity dinner: In January 2010, we experimented with the concept of the celebrity dinner in
which children walked the ramp with stars in dresses provided by Kimaya. Rs. 8.7 lakh was
raised.

CPAA. Rs. 2,25,000 was raised this year. They also hosted a group of children who created a
collage which subsequently was sent to UK.
Creating information: A number of brochures, posters, leaflets and stickers have been created
in-house to provide information for the healthy as well as for cancer patients. We receive
funding from individuals, clubs and corporates for this cause. Rs. 4.65 lakh was received this

Cancer Insurance
Director: Anita Peter
Our vision for 2010 was to become the ‘Most reliable support to safeguard health’. With this vision
we have supported our 12,103 policy holders with 696 claim settlements till date with 100%
satisfaction. Claim settlements were done in time with the support of New India Assurance Company
Ltd., thereby ensuring claim holders that during their time of crises, our support is always there.
With an increase in service tax this year we paid a premium to New India Assurance Company to the
tune of over Rs. 3 Cr. We have also seen an increase in the number of claims and more and more
policy holders coming for regular check-up.
We hope to further strengthen ourselves and grow by reaching out to larger group of people,
educating them about cancer and cancer prevention, and aiding and assisting those who fall victim to
this disease.

Director: Kiran Hukku
In 2010 our aspirations and goals to be self reliant was successfully achieved. We could further
strengthen our activities and increase our reach to the masses. We are now financially secure and
have done some major tie-ups like with Hilton International South Pacific, Avon (renewed their
support from 2010 to 2011) and the Global Charities, USA.
As a result of this we are able to help more patients and disburse more medicine. We have managed
to get another room in the dharamshala run by AIIMS hospital to be used for conducting various
curricular and creative stress buster activities for the children patients. We have been recognized as
one of the leading NGO in Delhi for the cause of cancer as a result many hospitals contact us to help
their social workers. It gives me immense pleasure to say that we could also meet our targets in
various departments.
Next year we plan to get special software installed to further streamline our Health detection and
Patient Care activities. This would enable us store all the data and use it as and when required.

SEPTEMBER
NATIONAL CANCER ROSE DAY
22nd September is a day conceived and ear-marked by Cancer Patients Aid Association since the past
14 years to bring cheer, happiness and smiles to cancer patients all over the country. This annual event is a
gesture from the association to show its
support and care to thousands of cancer
patients and their families. It's CPAA's
way of making a difference in the fight
against cancer. At the most basic level, it
is a human expression to say that we
care. Looking deeper however, it's what
gives CPAA the dynamism and scope to
engage itself in the very real issues of
cancer - Treatment; the prohibitive costs
of cancer drugs; the lack of awareness;
the endemic proportions of Head &
Neck cancers. Rose Day in that sense is
the bridge from hapless to hopeful...
