About Us
Aster Volunteers Head Start – Paediatric Brain Tumour Initiative, started by Aster DM Foundation, is an independent initiative dedicated to advancement in the care of pediatric brain tumour. We have adopted a holistic approach with focus on research, awareness, networking and access
Research
Working with reputed institutions like St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, we are increasing our knowledge and understanding about these illnesses. This helps increase the quality of care and medical solutions given to patients.
Awareness
We educate the general public, people in the medical field, and parents of patients about the condition and how it can be addressed, treated and prevented. Our goal is to increase the awareness of this illness to facilitate early detection and referral to a dedicated center.
Network
In order to address the issue comprehensively, we need to pull in as many resources and experts as possible. This network will help with referring patients to the right centres and getting expert opinion on cases.
Access
We want to make sure every child with brain tumour has access to the treatment they need – in terms of access to medical procedures. Aster Medcity has state-of-the-art facilities for these services and procedures. We also help to arrange financial assistance for those who are economically disadvantaged.
