Why This Matters

Supporting low-income community patients with financial assistance is crucial to ensuring equitable access to healthcare. Many individuals in these communities face significant barriers to medical care, struggling to afford medications, treatments, and basic healthcare services. Without financial help, this often leads to delayed diagnoses, worsened health conditions, and higher healthcare costs down the line. Providing financial support allows patients to focus on their health without the constant worry of daily survival needs, which they are already struggling with.
The Major Khushru Mistry Medical Fund helps ease the financial burden of patients with serious health conditions. We support treatment for life-threatening illnesses like cancer, organ transplants, and other critical ailments. BCPT ensures transparency through due diligence and hospital collaboration, maximizing impact and allowing patients to focus on recovery.

Our Intervention

The Difference We’ve Made

Over the years, the Major Khushru Mistry Medical Fund has had a profound impact on the lives of more than 20 patients each year. By providing financial support for critical treatments and procedures, the fund has helped individuals facing serious health issues, such as cancer and organ transplants, to access the care they urgently need. This support not only addresses their immediate medical costs but also alleviates the stress of daily survival, enabling them to focus on their recovery. The consistent contributions of the fund have created lasting positive effects, improving both individual lives and the overall resilience of the community.

About the Organisation

Late Major Khushru Mistry was a brave officer in the Indian Army, deeply loved by his troops. He spent much of his time on the frontlines and remained resilient despite his injuries. After his untimely passing due to a heart attack, this fund was established in his memory to honour his courage and dedication.
