Introduction

Helping Hands for Remedies (HHFR) is a non-profit, non-political independent non-governmental organization established in August 2021 in Nepal. The organization was founded by a group of dedicated individuals, including cancer patients, their families, survivors, social service volunteers, doctors, and philanthropists, who came together with a shared vision of providing critical support to poor patients in need. 

Since its inception, HHFR has made significant strides in assisting hundreds of patients suffering from various diseases, including cancer, liver, heart, and kidney conditions and other ailments that make people’s lives miserable. Major milestones include the successful conduction of community-based health activities, such as cancer awareness campaigns focused on leading cancers in Nepal—gynaecological, breast, and prostate cancers—along with other cancer awareness and health-related campaigns. Furthermore, the health check-up camps which encompass general health, nutritional, oral health, blood donations, and more, benefiting thousands of individuals across the country.
