HCG Cancer Centre, Bangalore, commemorated the World Cancer Day by hosting various initiatives, under the campaign ‘The Power of Good Wishes’, inspired by the poignant belief, “Jo dawa nahi kar paati, wo dua kar paati hai” (what medicine cannot achieve, blessings can). The centre conducted a series of activities, like cancer awareness experience centre at Rangoli Metro Art Centre, placards to raise awareness on cancer and the importance of early screening and a wish wall, where participants could share their good wishes to the cancer patients.
The aim of the initiative was to embark on a collective journey towards spreading awareness about cancer as a community and encourage more people to get screened for cancer as early detection can increase their survival chances and aid in better management of the disease.

HCG’s medical staff formed a human chain and educated the patients on the importance of early screening and early detection of cancer at the MG Road Signal by holding placards. In addition to these initiatives, the centre also had A 'wishing wall' at the premise where individuals were invited to share heartfelt motivational messages to create a collective support to the cancer patients.
