Birth of Heal the Life

Heals the Life team member

We have seen thousands and thousands of patients fighting through cancer anticipating the death. Even though there is no specific medication or method has not yet been found to prevent or cure cancer completely, there are so many remedies including pain killers, chemotherapy, radiology or surgeries which are commonly used for manage the cancer.

My mother died at the age of 67 with a cancer. She died on the 25th June which was my birthday and at the same time that I was born which made me devastated. When she was diagnosed to have cancer it was even passed the third stage. If it was diagnosed early, I believe, that she would have stayed longer.

I have witnessed from my beloved mother, the desperate situation that a cancer patient encounter. To mention few, the high cost of medication, nutritious food, other medical supplies and surgeries are unbearable for many patients.

In the light of above, I thought it would be meaningful if I could find a proper mechanism to assist such needy cancer patients by promoting prevention, early detection, proper treatment, supportive care in all stages, and helping on cancer research to stop the cancer. I have established Heal the Life with the sole and honest aspiration to do so. It is indeed my responsibility towards the nation.
