  Dear All, I&nbsp; hope everybody knows Adyar Cancer Institute in Chennai. Founded by Dr.Muthulakshmi, it is&nbsp; the second&nbsp; biggest&nbsp; hospital&nbsp; in&nbsp; India.
It is estimated that&nbsp; around&nbsp; 80,000 patients are treated every year. Among them around&nbsp; 90%&nbsp; of&nbsp; them are very poor and cannot afford treatments in private hospitals.&nbsp; It costs 2&nbsp; lakhs for each patient and the hospital bears the entire cost.&nbsp; To&nbsp; manage the funds the hospital has come out with a scheme where&nbsp; it has planned to sell 1 Crore coupons of each Rs.20.
With this, the hospital&nbsp; believes&nbsp; that it can generate Rs.20 Crores. I humbly request you to&nbsp; buy&nbsp; at&nbsp; least&nbsp; one coupon, which can save a life. Twenty rupees may be insignificant, but this small contribution can make a huge difference to a lot of cancerpatients, most of them children below the age of 10.
