People-centric approach to cancer awareness important: Prataprao Jadhav

Integrative models combining modern oncology with Ayush systems can significantly improve quality of life, particularly for the vulnerable sections of society, Union Minister Prataprao Jadhav said on Friday. He emphasised that safeguarding public health requires a proactive and people-centric approach to cancer awareness and prevention.

Jadhav noted that the Ministry’s expanding initiatives — including integrative cancer-care centres, collaborative research efforts and community-focused programmes — aim to ensure that affordable, holistic and supportive care reaches every citizen.
