CAPED India

Cancer Awareness, Prevention and Early Detection (CAPED) Trust (www.capedindia.org) is a community outreach organization working in the healthcare domain since its inception in Read more2014. Our core area of work is cancer prevention and early detection, particularly women’s cancers. We break down barriers to women’s health, and empower women to take action regarding their own health. We achieve this through community outreach, awareness and facilitating cancer screening for women from economically weaker sections of the society. We have presence in Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Gujarat and Karnataka. CAPED undertakes various projects and interventions in collaboration with the Government at multiple levels (District, State and Centre) for health system strengthening for cancer prevention. We have partnered with CMO Office, Gurugram District (Haryana), CMO Office Gautam Buddha Nagar (Uttar Pradesh), CMO Office, Mathura District (Uttar Pradesh), CMO Office, Rajsamand District (Rajasthan), CMO Office, Kheda District (Gujarat), National Health Mission Department, Jharkhand, District Magistrates, East, West & North Delhi and the CRPF for different interventions. We have undertaken advocacy interventions with the Health Ministry, Finance Ministry and various Parliamentarians for policy level changes. We are also involved in advocacy work to effect policy changes at national level to facilitate wider accessibility to cancer prevention modalities. We also work with Indian healthcare organizations such as National Institute for Cancer Prevention and Research (NICPR), AIIMS, Delhi Cancer Hospital, Gurugram Civil Hospital, Ramakrishna Charitable Hospital (Vrindavan), Path Sanjivani Charitable Trust, Lady Hardinge Medical College and Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute & Research Centre, and have strategic collaborations with global organizations such as American Cancer Society (ACS), Cervical Cancer Action for Elimination (CCAE) Network, APAC Women’s Cancer Coalition (WCC), The Global HPV Consortium, Cervical Cancer Elimination Consortium India (CCEC-I) and Beat Cervical Cancer (BCC) Network.
