"When I first came to Bagchi Sri Shankara Cancer Centre and Research Institute, Bhubaneswar, one special thing I observed was their exceptional 'Athithi Sathkara' which means hospitality. The patient hospitality and care I received from the doctors and staff during my operation and chemotherapy were outstanding."

"I often tell other patients that, like accidents, cancer can happen to anyone, and Shankara is here to fix it with science and evidence-based treatments. There's no need to feel sad about the disease."

"I thought I'll never be able to eat again. But my life changed when you held a camp in my village. I am now cancer free and can still eat!"

"I thought I'll never be able to graduate, I completed my treatment and 12th standard last year. 2 graduations in 1 year!"

"Bagchi Sri Shankara Cancer Centre and Research Institute, Bhubaneswar provides everything under one roof, I don't have to go anywhere else for any kind of diagnosis or tests. Everything is maintained well and done with the thought in mind that the patient needs to recover soon and go back home soon."

"I am grateful to them because what I am today is because of them."

"My parents could not handle it when the doctor told us the diagnosis. Doctors at Bagchi Sri Shankara Cancer Centre and Research Institute, Bangalore did not delay my treatment. I was immediately admitted and my chemotherapies were started."

"The nurses motivated me whenever I was low and they treated me as their little sister. During the course of my treatment, I made a lot of friends and even after the completion of my treatment, they are in touch. I am forever grateful to Shankara for giving me the strength to fight and win against cancer."
