For a noble cause, South Indian Bank (SIB) has tied up with the Regional Cancer Centre in Thiruvananthapuram, with an aim to support cancer patients. With the incidence of cancer rather high at present and the treatment cost unaffordable to the common man, SIB decided to join hands with RCC, Thiruvananthapuram to help them get a move on member enrolments.
The bank decided to add value by helping individuals enrol in this Cancer Care for Life Scheme, sponsored by RCC, Thiruvananthapuram through its branch network. As per the plan a member, if diagnosed for cancer at some point in time in his life, can get advanced treatment almost free. However, the member would have to pay a one-time fee of Rs 500, who with this will be entitled for diagnostic and treatment facilities at the centre up to 100 times the membership fee, i.e, Rs 50,000.
