You can choose which Hospital and area of Volunteering you would like to help in. You can even suggest an area of volunteering that you would like to do. We encourage you to spread the word and bring friends and family for Volunteering with Sanman.
At present most of the funding we do is at Kidwai due to the large amount of needy patients at Kidwai Cancer Institute, Bangalore. Currently more than 2000 patients a month are helped on at Kidwai alone and hence we need to extend our volunteer network and raise more awareness on palliative care and other healthcare support and resource requirements.
