ABOUT US
Welcome to Dhairya Cancer Foundation
Dhairya Cancer Foundation (DCF) is a non-profit nationwide social organization based in Nepal. Founded by Terisa Tamang in November 2017, we are dedicated to providing proper care in terms of practical, emotional, and social support to people with cancer and their families.
Still in Nepal, cancer is considered as a communicable disease and cancer patients are ignored. According to a study, cancer patients are rising and doubled within 2003 to 2011. Nepal's hospital-based data also shows the rising number of cancer patients every year — 45% male and 55% female.
Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Approximately 70% of deaths occur in low and middle-income countries. Due to poverty, lack of education and basic hygienic necessities, cancer patients are prematurely dying. Dhairya Cancer Foundation is here to help.
