It Takes One to Save One Supplement Desk Supplement Desk Buoyed by his first attempt of supporting a leukemic patient in need of funds, Mr. Najmus Ahmed Albab lobbied harder for more donations and turned this personal initiative into a foundation, the Bangladesh Cancer Aid Foundation (BANCAF), in 2011. As the foundation's impact on the society grew bigger and greater, Mr. Ahmed realised that it needs to be turned into a formal organisation and accordingly, the foundation was legalised as a trust and Bangladesh Cancer Aid Trust (BANCAT) was born in 2019. BANCAT is a nationwide, community-based, voluntary organisation dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by prevention and diminishing suffering through education, advocacy, and service. Mr. Ahmed brought 14 other like-minded individuals on-board as t rustees, many of whom had been indirectly affected by cancer. BANCAT provides financial assistance and emotional support to underserved cancer patients of society. It also works towards raising awareness about cancer through a variety of social activities at different levels of society. Some of these activities include Cricket for Cancer, walkathon, cancer awareness campaigns, and cancer screenings.
