Dr C.S Das Integrated Breast Cancer Lymphedema Treatment Unit Silchar, Assam

In Loving Memory of Dr. Chandra Sekhar Das (1946-22nd Feb, 2020). In Service to Humanity - a 100% FREE, dedicated Integrated Breast Cancer Lymphedema Treatment unit, for the first time in Cachar district, Assam, established in Silchar, on 24th January 2026 at the residence of Late Dr. Chandra Sekhar Das, a collaborative initiative of Dr. Chandra Sekhar Das Foundation and Breast Cancer Hub.

Today, 22nd February 2026, marks the 6th death anniversary (2020–2026) of Dr Chandra Sekhar Das-an eminent pediatrician from Northeast India whose magical touch, clinical brilliance, and deep compassion healed generations of patients. To honor his extraordinary legacy of selfless service, we humbly announce today a milestone initiative dedicated to a legacy that lives on through free care, dignity, and hope.

🌼 Why This Initiative Matters

Across Assam and Northeast India, breast cancer survivors-both rural and urban-often remain unaware of proper lymphedema management and have been suffering for years. Combined with widespread poverty, many cannot afford even basic treatment. This unit directly addresses that gap by offering lymphedema treatment, and long-term management.

🌟 Services Offered

✔ Advanced targeted therapy using a HealPress 12-Chamber Sequential Compression Device
✔ Therapy administered 5 days a week for 3+ months, tailored to each patient
✔ Post–breast cancer surgery lymphedema management exercises for all genders, demonstrated on-site
✔ Free customized microfiber compression arm sleeves for improved lymphatic flow and prevention of fluid buildup
✔ Holistic, patient-centered care focused on dignity and long-term quality of life

Honoured by Esteemed Dignitaries: The launch ceremony was graced and enriched by the presence of distinguished and inspiring personalities: Dr. Sibananda Roy, Dr. Sarmishtha Bhattacharjee, Dr. Monika Deb, Dr. Devanjana Dutta Majumdar, Mrs. Sita Kannan, and Mrs. Rita Das.

🙏 With Heartfelt Gratitude we sincerely thank:

• Dr Sumit Das for delivering an insightful, informative, and eloquent welcome address.

• Mr. Kumardeep Das for brilliantly designing the Lymphedema banner graphics and the Dr. C. S. Das Foundation logo.
