Kohima: Tata Trusts today signed an agreement with the Nagaland government to roll out a cancer care programme in collaboration with the public health care system of the state.
"The government of Nagaland and the Tata Trusts today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to implement a programme for providing comprehensive cancer care in the state," an official release from the Tata Trusts said.
The Tata Trusts and the Nagaland government will establish a joint venture -- Nagaland Cancer Care Foundation -- and the collaboration will build on the public healthcare system to make cancer care accessible and affordable, it said.
The MoU was signed between Taraporevala and Nagaland Health and Family Welfare Commissioner and Secretary Himato Zhimomi, the statement said.
Speaking on the development, Tata Trusts senior advisor Burzis Taraporevala said, "Nagaland is among the states that have the highest per capita burden of cancer in India. Through the partnership, we aim to provide the much-needed impetus by making cancer care accessible and affordable, and help in awareness and early diagnosis."
