Despite being highly treatable when detected early, nearly 70% patients present in advanced stages, leading to poorer outcomes, more complex treatment modalities and significantly higher treatment costs. </div><div><br></div><div>The campaign aims to encourage people to recognise possible warning signs, seek medical advice without delay, undergo appropriate screening and diagnostic tests, and begin treatment promptly when cancer is detected.</div><div><br></div><div>The initiative was unveiled during a media workshop led by <b>Dr. Sultan A. Pradhan, Founder & Chairman, HNCII,</b> who highlighted the need to change the way people respond to possible symptoms of cancer.</div><div><br></div><div>At the core of the campaign is a simple call to action: do not wait.</div><div><br></div><div>A mouth ulcer that does not heal, an unexplained or painless lump, persistent difficulty in swallowing, changes in voice or other unusual symptoms should not be ignored or allowed to persist without medical evaluation. Equally important, once cancer is suspected or diagnosed, delays in completing investigations and commencing treatment can adversely affect outcomes.</div><div><br></div><div>Speaking about the initiative, <b>Dr. Sultan Pradhan, Founder & Chairman, HNCII</b> said “We have made significant advances in the treatment of cancer, but these advances can only help if patients reach us in time. Too often, people ignore a symptom, wait for it to disappear, postpone a consultation or delay treatment after diagnosis. Our message to every citizen is simple: if something is not right, get it checked. In cancer, delay is the real killer.” </div><div><br></div><div>HNCII has partnered with organisations such as the Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA), Indian Cancer Society (ICS), the dental fraternity, and other like-minded agencies to take the message of early detection and timely treatment to people across the country.</div><div><br></div><div>Speaking about the partnerships, <b>Dr. Sultan Pradhan</b> said “NGOs such as CPAA and ICS have deep community networks and the ability to take the message to the grassroots. The dental fraternity has an equally important role in the early identification of oral cancers, as suspicious lesions may first be noticed during routine dental examinations. Bringing together such partners will create the required network for awareness, early identification and timely referrals.”</div><div><br></div><div>Through awareness programmes, community outreach, educational material, digital communication and engagement with healthcare professionals, HNCII hopes the message “Delay is the Real Killer” will reach people in homes, and communities across India. The eventual long term goal is to reverse the current pattern of late presentation – from nearly 70% presenting at advanced stages to a future where the majority of cancers are detected and treated early. </div><div><br></div><div>As HNCII marks World Head & Neck Cancer Day, its appeal to citizens and the healthcare community is clear:</div><div>Cancer will not wait. Neither should you.</div><div>In Cancer, Delay is the Real Killer.</div><div><br></div><div><b>About the Head & Neck Cancer Institute of India (HNCII)</b></div><div>The Head & Neck Cancer Institute of India (HNCII), a division of the CanCare Trust, is India’s first and only dedicated super-speciality hospital focused exclusively on Head & Neck Oncology. Founded by renowned surgical oncologist Dr. Sultan A. Pradhan and commissioned in Mumbai in August 2023, the 100-bed institute delivers comprehensive cancer care under one roof across surgical oncology, chemotherapy, radiation oncology, diagnostics, rehabilitation, wellness, and palliative care. HNCII specialises in the treatment of head and neck cancers, including oral, thyroid, skull base, brain, and spine tumours, while preventive oncology and early detection remain central to its approach. Equipped with advanced medical technologies and a multidisciplinary team of specialists, HNCII is committed to delivering accessible, patient-centric, and world-class cancer care in India.</div><div><br></div><div>For more information, <b>visit</b>: https://hncii.org/</div>

Bringing together citizens from the length and breadth of Mumbai, across housing societies, corporates, schools, colleges and civic bodies, under one unified movement, the initiative reinforces a simple message - every household should have at least one person trained in CPR, a 'Hero' who can step forward when every second counts.</div><div><br></div><div>The initiative was inaugurated by Hemangini Patil, Regional Transport Officer, Thane Region, and Dr. S.

What sets the initiative apart is its scale and reach; it is designed to unite residents from every corner of the city, from South Mumbai to the far suburbs, in a single, sustained movement toward a common goal - a CPR-ready Mumbai.</div><div>As part of the initiative, Fortis Hospitals Mumbai will partner with civic bodies, utility and service providers, transport operators, quick-commerce platforms, housing societies, corporate hubs, educational institutions and other community groups to expand CPR awareness across the city. The focus for the coming year would be on equipping 2lac Mumbaikar’s of all ages and backgrounds with essential CPR skills, and building a growing base of trained first responders who can act swiftly in a cardiac emergency, before EMS teams arrive.</div><div>Fortis Mumbai will also launch a community perception survey to gauge current levels of emergency preparedness among Mumbaikars, and awareness about application of Basic Life Support (BLS), CPR and use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). These insights that will help identify gaps and shape future training efforts.</div><div>Speaking at the launch, Dr. S. Narayani, Business Head – Fortis Hospitals, Maharashtra, said, "With 'Har Ghar Hero', Fortis Mumbai is taking an important step towards making CPR preparedness a community priority. In a cardiac emergency, the first responder is often not a healthcare professional but a family member, colleague, neighbour or passer-by. Our aim is to build a culture where every household has at least one person who knows what to do when it matters most. Through sustained partnerships and community-led training, we hope to create a city that is better prepared to respond to emergencies."</div><div>Over the past few years, emergency medicine specialists from Fortis Hospitals Mumbai have collectively trained and certified 1.5 lakh Mumbaikars in CPR, and engaged with 1,000+ housing societies, 350+ corporate set-ups, 300+ colleges and schools, 100+ government bodies and civic institutions, and 600+ NGOs and community groups.

The development reflects our continued focus on application-led innovation and creating specialised film solutions aligned with evolving packaging requirements.”</div><div><br></div><div>The Transparent Antifog Bio-Degradable Film has been specifically developed for the packaging of fresh-cut vegetables, salads and meat, where visibility and effective antifog performance are critical to product presentation.
