Who We Are
Sanjeevani is an award-winning, non-profit, registered Public Trust working in the domain of integrated cancer care, from prevention and early detection to providing counselling and rehabilitation for people battling the illness. Our aim is to help underprivileged cancer patients navigate the path to recovery by adopting a holistic and comprehensive approach.
A serving bureaucrat, Ruby Ahluwalia was diagnosed with Stage III Breast Cancer in 2009. But her own unwavering resolve and the constant support from her family helped Ruby fight back her cancer and recover completely. After completing her treatment, Ruby decided to set up Sanjeevani in 2012 with the aim of easing the extreme levels of agony faced by cancer patients in their journey to good health.
The emotional and physical pain, as well as the financial stress of battling cancer, prompted her to begin a new chapter in her own Life Beyond Cancer.
Started in 2012 with one program at one centre in Mumbai, today Sanjeevani helps patients thru its 16 centres spread across 11 states and 1 UT viz. Mumbai and Wardha (Maharashtra); Jaipur and Bikaner (Rajasthan); Ahmedabad and Surat (Gujarat); Kolkata (Bengal); Goa (Goa); Delhi (Delhi); Rishikesh (Uttarakhand), Bangalore (Karnataka), Guwahati (Assam), Hyderabad (Telangana), Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) and Puducherry (UT).
We have worked with more than 2,30,000 underprivileged patients to date.

Raising Funds For
Cancer hasn’t stopped. And, neither have we.
Cancer Patients who are already under:
- Mental stress;
- Physical pain and;
- Financial hardship
Need support to get over this crisis.
The pandemic - induced Lockdown has exacerbated their problems which made us push our limits even further. The underprivileged cancer patients during the long lockdown felt lonely, scared and miserable. Their physical and mental state worsened by the hour. Our helplines would not stop ringing.
We understood that we cannot afford to lockdown, we are their only hope.
So, we re-aligned our work and reached our patients’ homes up till the interiors of the country, daily, with doctors, with experts in pain management, psychological support and breathwork. Bringing relief, support, and right advice to them is making them stand again to put up the fight against cancer and come out victorious.
For it is not cancer, but fear of cancer that kills.
These Programs which completely reform the lives of cancer patients by 360 degrees, cost only Rs 5000 per patient.
We welcome you to support:
· 5 patients by donating 25000/-
· 10 patients by donating 50000/-
· Or as many more as you wish in multiples of 5.
We are desperately seeking support to work with 5000 additional patients, this year, across the country.
Hold our hand to help us hold the hand of underprivileged cancer patients through their pain, their misery and their hopelessness and empower them for life.

| Project Name | Satori: A Wellness Initiative by Sanjeevani Life Beyond Cancer |
| Amount Utilized (INR) | 1122200 |
| Project Description | A uni-dimensional focus on biomedical treatments creates a vacuum for patients and a need for complementary therapeutic interventions that are holistic and scientifically driven.
Sanjeevani fills this vacuum by providing the Wellness Program that focuses on helping cancer patients and survivors cope with their condition through the promotion of overall mental and physical well-being, thus helping them to lead a better quality of life post-treatment and strengthening of the immunity system.
This program is built on the belief that immunity has a huge role to play in the fight against cancer. Strengthening the immunity of people affected by cancer through diet, breathing exercises and addressing their primary mental constructs is the backbone of this program delivered through a 36 session course.
The objectives:
1. To impart skills & understanding to help cancer patients deal with the side effects of modern medicine in a better way
2. Equip them with skill sets to take responsibility of their own health and build up their immunity systems;
3. Leading them to a better quality of life not only during treatment but post-treatment also.
4. When practised consistently it can lead considerably reduce chances of recurrence of cancer in patients.
This program is offered free of cost to all cancer patients. |

The group of beneficiaries primarily consists of cancer patients and their caregivers, ranging roughly from an age group of 20 - 75 years. Since our work is not limited to a specific type of cancer, we tend to patients, both women and men, suffering from different types of cancer.
Our plan is to work with 5000 additional patients, this year, across the country. |
| Impact | The program is open to all cancer patients and their caregivers.
The third-party impact evaluation was commissioned to evaluate the effectiveness of the program in yielding a better quality of life for patients. The study was conducted by M/s Monk Prayogshala.
The efficacy/impact of this Program was measured prospectively at baseline and at end of intervention through a mixed-methods approach using standard questionnaires; the primary goal being to examine whether this intervention helped regulate physical and affective states of participants enrolled in the program.
As a result of the Wellness Program, participants reported:
• Lower negative affect
• Improved physical, cognitive, and social functioning
• Lower physical pain and discomfort
• Lower stress concerning finances
• Improvement in overall physical and mental health
• High satisfaction with program teachings and overall quality of care
The evaluation of Sanjeevani…Life Beyond Cancer’s Wellness Program unearthed the importance of a well-rounded holistic intervention emphasising on both physical and mental health aspects of the fight against cancer.
Overall, the participants’ physical, cognitive and social functioning improved, and they reported positive mental health at the end of their sessions. |
