Assam Cancer Care Foundation is a Government of Assam and Tata Trusts initiative, established to create a three-tier comprehensive cancer care network and provide accessible and affordable cancer care for the denizens. ACCF has undertaken the cosmic mission of setting up nineteen state-of-the-art cancer care facilities across the state of Assam. These facilities are strategically located to ensure everyone has access to the full suite of treatment without having to travel too far from their base.The facilities will be digitally enabled by DiNc (Digital Nerve Centre) that has been set up within the premises of State Cancer Institute (SCI) in Guwahati. DiNC will open new communication touch points to connect the three-tier hospital network in real time, for delivery of virtual care through consistent and continuous communication. This will multiply the impact of the 19-centre physical infrastructure by almost four times.South Asia Cancer Care Foundation (SACCF)SACCF – an integral part of ACCF - is an oncology research centre formed for extensive research pertaining to treatment and care of cancer.
