Speaking at the event, Dr. Amol Dongre - Director - Medical Oncology, Max Hospital, Nagpur, emphasized the importance of community involvement in the fight against cancer.

Dr. Amol Dongre, further stated, “With advancements such as targeted therapies, immunotherapy, and precision medicine, cancer outcomes have improved significantly. At Max Super Speciality Hospital, Nagpur, our commitment extends beyond delivering world-class care—we aim to dispel outdated beliefs and empower patients. Initiatives like ‘Everyday Warriors’ help create a supportive community where survivors and families can connect, gain confidence, and move ahead with hope.”

Mr. Ghanshyam Gusani, Vice President – Hospital Operations, Max Hospital, Nagpur, said, “Our mission is to transform lives through assured treatment and compassionate care. By hosting ‘Everyday Warriors,’ we seek to inspire hope, uplift survivors, and support families on their journey of resilience and recovery.”
