Current Scenario of Cancer Disease in India
The most critical issue India is facing is the rate of mortality due to cancer. The value touched an alarming limit of 806000 cases in the last century. Cancer is the second most common disease in India responsible for maximum mortality with about 0.3 million deaths per year. Besides, attempts have been made to describe the main causes of cancer along with their preventive measures. In addition to this, efforts have also been made to predict the effect of increasing number of cancer patients on the Indian economy. In low and middle-income countries, limited access to affordable and quality cancer diagnosis and treatment has contributed to mortality-to-incidence ratios approximately 20% higher than those of industrialized countries.
Company’s Motive is to Overcome the Issues Related to Higher Cost and Turn-around Time
The spending on healthcare is invariably growing faster than the GDP. The rate of growth of healthcare expenditure has exceeded that of GDP. Macroeconomic factors like aging population or insufficient public funding are challenging to both receivers and providers of healthcare. These advanced, automated and integrated technologies widen the application scope of molecular diagnostics, they also lead to high test costs, which are un-affordable to huge sections of patients in India. Besides, lack of healthcare insurance and reimbursement schemes for diagnostics, which usually are not considered as important as drugs, further limits adoption in the region.
Besides that, the turn-around time for the patient to get the results usually after a biopsy sample is collected is almost 5-7 days or even more. It is observed that many patients travel from one part of the country to get their treatments done, but due to long turn-around times of the results, the patients have to wait for their diagnosis reports so that the appropriate therapies can be started. With Asvin’s platform, the company is able to provide the diagnosis reports the same day to the physicians which would enable them to start the appropriate therapies on their patients at an early stage.

The USP of Asvin is to provide fastest solution to the problem related to the field of Cancer diagnosis. With this, the company is able to guide the patient for early treatment of cancer which could save their lives from this deadly disease which is unfortunately at its peak today.

The company aims to provide direct access to personalized medicine for patients in India by promoting fully integrated and broadly applicable molecular diagnostics. Their platforms can be used in a wide variety of healthcare settings to enable rapid and high-quality care close to patients.
