CCC House
What we do and Why
Cancer has become a huge evil, every year many thousands of new patients are identified with the disease. The Apeksha Hospital has to treat both the newly identified as well as the people who have been suffering for a while.
On any given day the hospital treats thousands of outpatients as well as inpatients. All are not provided accommodation at the hospital, and many who have to take periodic courses of treatment are expected to come for the treatment daily.
On any given day the hospital treats thousands of outpatients as well as inpatients. All are not provided accommodation at the hospital, and many who have to take periodic courses of treatment are expected to come for the treatment daily.
However since most of them travel from far , and are from lower socio economic strata, they find it difficult to pay for accommodation, so they used to just stay inside the hospital, down a corridor, under a bed, or in any corner that they could find.
During treatment they are susceptible to infections due to low immunity , the fact that they have to suffer to get their treatment without proper accommodation was something we could not accept We were inspired by the facilities across the world , where transit homes were an integral part of cancer care.
Our purpose was to replicate the concept in a very efficient and effective manner so that the residents could reap the benefits when they needed it most.
We embarked on a project to build a TRANSIT HOME to accommodate children and adult patients suffering from cancer, during their periodic treatment. Whilst the challenges were many the benefits that the project provided to the many who have been supported is un quantifiable.
Although the project took some years to complete, by March 2013 we were able to finally make it a reality and dedicate it to serve the needy. We hear the stories of these people every day and it is our mandate to provide them solace during these trying times.

The Residents, visit the hospital for treatment, as per the guidelines provided to them by the Consulting Medical Officer of the respective wards. We facilitate the process, if necessary, but the responsibility lies solely with the patient.

How you can help us to help them
A project of this nature needs to be operated efficiently, requires significant funding. We have set very high standards of “Operations” at the CCC HOUSE, and are committed to manage it maintain the set standards.. Therefore the constant need for fund raising exists.
Volunteering
You can help by being there for the residents during your free time, we encourage limited opportunity for really dedicated volunteers to serve the residents. However all volunteer programs are well planned and monitored therefore it is important for you to discuss your interest with our team to explore options that would suit you. Everything we do will have the best interest of the residents at heart.
Some areas that can be considered are,
Spend time with children, do creative work with them, help their studies etc...
Spend time with the adults, read with them, spend time doing craft etc...
Conduct special activity for all , sing-a-song, musical evenings , religious sessions ( all religions )
Speak to us about what you have on plan and work with us to make it happen, we are relatively strict about these programmes specially since the best interest of the resident is our primary focus. Discuss with us if you are interested and we will together explore the best possible method.
