HITAISHINI, based in Kolkata , was formed in Nov. 1995 by a group of breast cancer survivors, who had suffered the trauma of the disease , as the West Bengal chapter of the Mastectomy Association of India. Subsequently, in 2000 , it was registered as “HITAISHINI (M.A.I.-W.B.)”, being the only breast cancer support group in Eastern India .

HITAISHINI is a totally voluntary , non-profit making charitable organization formed with the sole purpose of helping breast cancer patients in eastern India. It is run entirely by ladies – cancer survivors and socially committed housewives . Its activities are actively supported by women social workers and health professionals and are solely dependent on voluntary donations and fund raising activities.

Besides running FREE breast cancer clinics at different cancer hospitals in and around Kolkata to help and guide poor and needy female patients coming from different parts of the eastern region, HITAISHINI organizes regular programmes to enhance cancer awareness among the people .
