Nutrition is an important and integral part of cancer treatment. Eating the right kinds of foods during and after treatment is important. As the treatment can be extensive and expensive, many patients and families have to uproot their lives and live in Mumbai to undergo treatment. At Utsaah we provide raw food grains so the families can prepare and cook food that is appealing to the patient and as prescribed by the Dietician. As food habits are varied and diverse in India, we have realized it is better to distribute rations (1 months supply to each patient) than to distribute cooked food, especially in the case of children, where the mother knows best her child’s likes and dislikes. Correct nutrition for the patient is an extremely important aspect and therefore having access to a kitchen becomes important.
