ABOUT US

The NNCTR is dedicated to helping to build capacity for cancer treatment and research in Nepal in which such capacity is presently limited, and thereby to create a foundation on which to build strategies designed to lessen the suffering, limit the number of lives lost, and promote the highest quality of life for children and adults with cancer, and to increase the quantity and quality of cancer research throughout the country.

The worldwide increase in non-infectious diseases stimulated a paradigm shift in the health service delivery system of many countries. The ever increasing prevalence of heart diseases, cancer, diabetes and asthma is drawing more attention to emphasize lifestyle changes of the people than ever before. Various forms of cancer are being detected every year with new technology and increased efforts of health and non-health civil societies.
