Compassionate Cancer Care. Healthier Lives.
Penn Nalam Hospital exists to make quality cancer care accessible, compassionate and centred on the patient. We raise awareness, encourage early detection, and provide screening, diagnosis, treatment and counselling for patients and their families.
Our specialists in breast, cervical, oral and preventive oncology combine experienced medical care with education and prevention. Because when cancer is found early, treatment is simpler and outcomes are better.
A Journey of Hope, Care and Purpose
Penn Nalam was founded by Mrs. Radhika Santhanakrishnan, Managing Trustee of Sri Dhanvantri Trust, after her own cancer journey. Today it works on awareness, prevention, early detection and affordable treatment, especially for breast, cervical and oral cancers.
Founder’s quote:
“I know the fear and uncertainty a cancer diagnosis brings. That journey gave me a purpose: to make sure more people can reach awareness, early detection, kind support and affordable care.”
Vision statement (secondary quote):
“We want a future where cancer is found early, treatment is within reach, and no patient feels alone. Through education, screening, treatment and counselling, we will keep saving lives and serving our community with compassion.”
