Getting involved in the care of cancer patients is a multifaceted approach and I am glad to be a part of it by getting into various activities . 

Educational awareness on all types of cancers is very significant and not even one type of cancer should be undermined. It is of a concern where because where only ribbons are distributed and lightings of landmarks being done, on ground, which is a very good one. But medical education and awareness for those who are not into healthcare is also needed. Often the stages and types of all cancers are not fully explained to the public. 

When we talk about closing the care gap, it should be also seen that there is a closure in the knowledge gap too so that the public can be accurately informed of cancers and also know that the patients just do not thrive but survive. Oncology is fun, but oncology is a wide thing and that's why being multifaceted is most important for the healthcare sector.
