On Duty 24/7

Every community has a few dedicated individuals whose compassion and commitment make a lasting difference. In Kerala’s healthcare landscape, Dr. Faizal Khan, MD of NIMS Medicity, stands as a visionary leader, inspiring a team who works tirelessly to make impactful changes. Under his direction, Mr. Rajesh, the PRO with unmatched energy, and Dr. Saju, who handles the administration side, have poured themselves into Cancer Safe Kerala, creating an unstoppable team dedicated to improving healthcare across the state.

With Kerala Piravi Day and the launch of Cancer Safe Kerala just around the corner, Rajesh has been so dedicated that he hasn’t gone home in a week! He’s practically set up camp in a ‘chayakada’ at Pangode, grabbing tea and snacks between coordinating everything—even the locals have started recognizing him as a regular! And with Diwali the day before the event, he’s risking more than just exhaustion; if he doesn’t make it home for the holiday, his family might lock him out for good! Rajesh may soon be one of Pangode’s permanent residents if he keeps this up, but his commitment has been incredible to witness.

Dr. Saju, meanwhile, has been managing the administrative side with his usual calm precision, ensuring all logistics run like clockwork. Together with Rajesh’s nonstop coordination, they’re making sure Cancer Safe Kerala comes to life smoothly. Under Dr. Faizal Khan’s guidance, they’re setting a new standard for healthcare projects in Kerala.

Cancer Safe Kerala is launching at just the right time. Even with Kerala’s high literacy rate and access to healthcare, cancer rates remain high due to factors like lifestyle changes and an aging population. This initiative addresses these needs directly, reaching out with early detection and preventive care to communities across the state, especially rural ones.

The public-private partnership (PPP) model is key to the success of this project. By combining the resources and reach of public agencies with the agility of institutions like NIMS Medicity, Cancer Safe Kerala is creating a sustainable, high-quality healthcare solution. With Dr. Faizal Khan’s leadership, this model ensures that Cancer Safe Kerala has the support it needs to drive real change.

Swasthi Foundation, committed to preventive healthcare, is honored to partner with Cancer Safe Kerala. With our network and expertise, we’re helping transform this from a simple healthcare program to a community-powered movement across Kerala.

This Kerala Piravi Day, as we celebrate the launch of Cancer Safe Kerala, we honor the dedication, commitment, and even sacrifices of Dr. Faizal Khan, Mr. Rajesh, and Dr. Saju. Through their tireless work, they bring hope and strength to Kerala’s communities. With more people like them, Kerala—and the world—will become a healthier, more compassionate place to live.
