Everhope Oncology, a joint venture between Narayana Health, W Health Ventures, and 2070 Health, a healthcare-focused venture studio, has raised $10 million in seed funding.
The funds raised will be used to establish medical and surgical cancer care facilities in Delhi and Mumbai, with plans to expand to 10 cities over the next three years.
These facilities will provide diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care, including chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and palliative care.
Viren Shetty, Vice-Chairman, Narayana Health, said, “Most people visualize cancer treatment as thin and frail people stuck with hundreds of tubes walking from one crowded hospital room to another. This is why most of us avoid cancer screening and seek out non-scientific treatment options. We want to change the common misperceptions of curing cancer. Globally, most cancer therapies (chemotherapy, surgery, palliative care, radiation, consultations) are conducted in comfortable, dedicated spaces in retail locations far away from hospitals. We aim to provide patients with best-in-class onco-therapies in comfortable suites close to their homes, where they can get treated in a crowd-free environment and go about the rest of their day.”
Dr Pankaj Jethwani, Managing Partner, W Health Ventures, said, “As we work towards solving pressing healthcare issues, our collaboration with Narayana Health marks a significant step forward. Globally, cancer care has seen remarkable innovation—from daycare chemotherapy infusion centres to advanced diagnostics for early detection and breakthrough therapies like CAR-T. With Everhope, we aim to drive oncology innovation in India, working alongside entrepreneurial oncologists across the country who are eager to become business owners.”
Everhope Oncology offers dedicated chemotherapy facilities and specialized surgical centres. These centres will offer a modern, comfortable, and infection-free environment, ensuring personalized attention, minimal wait times, and an enhanced patient experience.
A clinical board comprising experienced oncologists, in close collaboration with Narayana Health, will implement comprehensive globally validated protocols to ensure best-in-class clinical outcomes.
Additionally, Everhope will provide holistic care services, including mental health counselling, nutritional consultations, and pain management. A 24/7 care concierge service will support patients between treatment sessions, providing guidance and assistance during this critical phase of their journey.
