Dr Boby Sarah Thomas ,a radiation oncologist is the founder of Kancare. She is a confident professional and is passionate about her work. She has inspired many and is making the world a better place by touching one life at a time.
After completing her medical studies from KMC, Mangalore in 2000 she worked with patients hailing from poor and backward communities through a Christian missionary organisation. Her own mother was diagnosed with cancer and this brought her back to Cochin. She did her post graduation on Radiation Oncology from Amrita Institute of Medical sciences and later took an interest in preventive oncology and palliative care. She witnessed large number of cancer patients being sent home whenever cure was not possible. There was lack of proper resources and services to help these ailing patients and families. This sorry state of affairs inspired Dr. Boby Sarah Thomas to take up Home based healthcare as an alternative to improve the quality of life and wellbeing of those in need. Though the idea began with cancer patients currently all senior citizens who need medical assistance are being seen by the team.
