Poster Making Competition for World No Tobacco Day 

To sensitize the youth about the harmful effects of tobacco and cancer, Sanjeevani… Life beyond Cancer’s Jaipur Team collaborated with the Radiation Therapy Department of SMS Hospital to organize a poster making competition. The competition was conducted amongst the students of schools and colleges in Jaipur. The prime aim of this activity was to spread awareness of the toxic ill effects of tobacco consumption and inculcate the youth with the right habits for a healthy life.

Meena and Principal and Controller of SMS Medical College, Dr. Sudhir Bhandari. The program was attended by all the doctors of Departments of Medical oncology, Radiotherapy and Surgical Oncology. The exhibition was on display for two days. We invited two doctors, a professor from Rajasthan University and an artist, a cancer survivor himself to judge the winners of the competition. 

International Yoga day 

In collaboration with the Department of Medical Oncology, SMS Hospital, Team Sanjeevani celebrated international Yoga Day on 21st June. Distinguished attendees Dr Sandip Jasooja (HOD, Medical Oncology), Dr Leenu Huda (Medical Oncology) and Jagriti Saxena (yoga instructor) spoke about the importance of yoga for cancer patients.

The oncologists as well as patients and survivors appreciated our initiative and showed a willingness to continue yoga.

Free Meal Project

"It's not how much we give but how much LOVE we put into GIVING" - Mother Teresa

With cancer patients from all walks of life, coming from far and wide to treat their cancer at hospitals, oftentimes they find it hard to be able to sustain basic necessities like food. Essentials like a nutritious meal is very vital for people with cancer, especially those undergoing chemotherapy since they need to build their immunity to resist the pain. 

On February 20, with the generous support of Mr. Suresh Khatri and Hotel Gandharva, Sanjeevani... Life Beyond Cancer took up the initiative to provide nutritious food thali to all the patients undergoing chemotherapy at the medical oncology department of Sawai Man Singh Hospital.
