The inspiration for this trust is however a more personal one, as ‘KARO’S’ founder experienced first hand, the mental and physical trauma one goes through when diagnosed with illnesses like, in his case, cancer. It was his desire to create an organisation that will hand hold patients, especially children, through the maze of doctors and prescriptions, taking care of both financial and emotional ne
eds. The questions he was trying to answer were how can we ensure that an illness or a disease does not obstruct the right to a happy, fulfilling life, and how can we make the process of recovery and healthcare the least painful and confusing. KARO seeks to bring financial relief to low income patients, with a lot of heartfelt care and commitment to the individual’s emotional and physical recovery. It also seeks to initiate a health education and awareness program specifically aimed at younger children and adults, thus imparting practical knowledge and encouraging personal health care from earlier on. Although there are many institutions, both profit and non-profit working valiantly to provide high standards of health care to our society, unfortunately, it is not yet enough to satisfy the increasing number of patients and cases that are suffering or being overlooked, due to reasons ranging from insufficient funds, to the paucity of information regarding medical options and procedures.
