Sri Shankara Cancer Hospital and Research Centre

Namaskara,

At Sri Shankara Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, we began with a simple yet powerful belief: that quality cancer care should not be a privilege, but a right for every Indian, regardless of their background or means.

When this hospital was founded, it was not just built with brick and mortar, it was built on compassion, ethics, and a deep sense of service. Inspired by the blessings of Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji and Godess Mother Sharada of Sringeri, our vision was to create a cancer hospital that offers world-class care, steeped in Indian values, where every patient feels safe, heard, and supported.

Over the years, we've grown into a leading comprehensive cancer centre in India, offering cutting-edge treatments, advanced diagnostics, holistic patient support and also cancer prevention and cancer research, all under one roof. Even as we embrace the latest in science and technology, we remain deeply rooted in our mission:

To serve with compassion. To treat with dignity. To heal with hope.

As a surgeon, educator, and fellow human being, I've seen firsthand how a timely diagnosis, the right treatment, and a kind word can transform outcomes. That's why we place equal emphasis on awareness, early detection, education, and research—alongside clinical care.

To every patient and caregiver who walks through our doors:
You are not alone. We are with you—every step of the way.

With gratitude and commitment,
Dr. B.S. Srinath
