CEO’s Message by Dr. Sneha Soni – Advancing the Best Cancer Treatment in Bangalore

Welcome to Solaris Cancer Centre, a proud initiative under ASM Health Frontier.

As the CEO of Solaris and a public health specialist, I am driven by a dual commitment: to provide world-class cancer care and to address the broader public health realities that shape patient outcomes. At Solaris, our vision “Where hope meets precision” guides every decision we make, blending cutting-edge clinical excellence with compassionate and community-oriented care.

Cancer is not just a disease of the body, it is a growing public health challenge with wide-reaching implications. The rising incidence of cancer, especially in developing countries, is straining both public health systems and individual households. One of the most pressing issues in this landscape is the high out-of-pocket expenditure that patients and families often face. From diagnostics to treatment and long-term follow- up, the cost burden can be overwhelming, and in many cases, financially catastrophic.

At Solaris Cancer Centre, we are acutely aware of this reality and we are committed to changing it. Our approach is cantered on making high-quality cancer care accessible and affordable. We have implemented a number of strategies to reduce financial strain on patients, including:

• Transparent and ethical pricing models
• Subsidized treatment options so financial limitation never deny quality care.
• Partnerships with government health schemes and insurance providers.
• Thoughtful, Comprehensive care planning that avoid unnecessary treatment and expenses.
• Infaces of prevention and early detection to improve outcomes and reduce late stage treatment burden.

We are also working closely with public health authorities and community organizations to extend awareness and screening services beyond hospital walls because early intervention not only saves lives but also significantly reduces treatment costs.
