The Indian Association of Blood Cancer & Allied Diseases is a registered voluntary, charitable organization committed to provide medical care and support services and raising funds for research and treatment of cancers that affect children. Cancer is the leading cause of death when it comes to Children's Disease. We give from the heart, and we help provide critical funding to researchers to study children's leukemia, immune system disorders, cancerous tumors, thalassemia, and cells...just to name a few. We also provide various facilities that are meant to improve the quality-of-life of pediatric cancer patients and their families.
Since its foundation, over 40,000 thousand patients have received services and support from the association in various forms.
Research into children's cancer not only helps young patients; discoveries often apply to adult cancer also. For example, removing, freezing, and returning bone marrow after chemotherapy can save the lives of adults as well as children. Research is incredibly expensive. It may take up to a million dollars to provide space, laboratory equipment, technical support, and the researchers needed for a single research project. The association needs support from well wishers to improve children's chances in their fight against their number one disease killer. Your gift will go towards vitally needed to fund child cancer research projects and improved treatment facilities.
The association is also aware of a critical shortage of doctors, basic scientists, nurses, and other support personnel working in the field of cancer diagnosis, research and treatment. It is therefore another goal to provide advance level continuing educational programs to attract promising new students to study cancer thereby increasing the ranks of these critically needed professionals.
IABCD solicits funds from all segments of the society and the entire fund is being used for :

  • Research and clinical investigation.

  • Fellowships

  • Laboratory equipments and supplies.

  • Pediatric Oncology Symposiums.

  • Patient Care and Treatments.

  • Parent/child publications to better understand the medical and emotional challenges they must overcome.

  • Public awareness and advocacy.

The Association has a Medical/Scientific Advisory Board consisting of clinicians and basic scientists who review research proposals. It has a Community Advisory Board consisting of business, government and professional leaders who advocate strong, broadly based community and institutional commitment, in the fight against childhood cancer.
We express our deep gratitude to all well wishers, blood donors, medical team, staff and members on board for their contribution, support and guidance to deliver the services to suffering children and their families.
