Doyen of cancer care Dr Shanta passes...

65 years, recalled that she was one of the most unassuming but accomplished doctors the country had ever known. She had strived throughout to provide the best of care for cancer patients. She made quality medical care affordable for poor cancer patients by charging only nominal sums from them. Seeing her work, numerous philanthropists and organisations had come forward to donate liberally for the development of the Cancer Institute. Dr Shanta would of ten say that her mission in life was to ensure that cancer care reached everyone who needed it.
