Our Founder

Dr. M. Banupriya — Founder

Long before she became a cancer specialist, Dr. M. Banupriya was a medical student in Thoothukudi, helping poor patients raise money for treatment. That work became Kalpavriksham, built on one simple belief: no one should go without cancer care because they are poor.

Today she is a gold-medal-winning Senior Consultant Radiation Oncologist. Yet her heart is still in the village camps, where along with Dr Manikandan Senior Surgical Oncologist she screens women, comforts frightened families and brings hope where there was none. To more than 67,000 lives, she has become what Kalpavriksham means: a tree that never stops giving

Our Vision:

To uplift society, alleviate pain and suffering from cancer, making a positive difference in the community we live in.

Our Mission:

To conduct free medical camps, provide essential medicines to rural and urban downtrodden communities, create awareness, conduct cancer screening camps, support curative cancer treatment and palliative care. To provide financial aid for medical, educational, and occupational needs of underprivileged individuals.

Kalpavriksham Trust is the most excellent place to get treated as you will be in the right hands. Dr. Banupriya has a very good approach to treating cancer and she is an excellent doctor who supports all treatment and ensures every patient gets treated right.

What was really amazing to me was that the waiting time was short even though the center was always full of patients!
