The world is going through a pandemic and the journey so far has been difficult for many.
Soumitra S. Datta, Tata Medical Center, Kolkata and Carlo Caduff, Kings College London, conducted ethnographic research on the journey of cancer patients just before the pandemic. They conceptualized a separate but complementary photographic project with help from Soumyendra Saha, award winning street photographer. The photographs depicted the patients’ journeys from their home to the hospital, their psychological journeys and also the journeys of the healthcare workers.
We hope the pictures will build a bridge between science and art, technology and emotion, and human suffering and hope to be able to portray the emotions of patients and healthcare workers beyond the four walls of clinics and operating rooms.

We are an independent charity and are not backed by a large company or society. We raise every penny ourselves to improve the standards of cancer care through education. You can help us continue our work to address inequalities in cancer care by making a donation.
Any donation, however small, contributes directly towards the costs of creating and sharing free oncology education.
Together we can get better outcomes for patients by tackling global inequalities in access to the results of cancer research.
