Abstract
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) plays a crucial role in enhancing community health by bridging healthcare disparities and supporting essential health programs. In the realm of cancer support, CSR initiatives are particularly impactful. They raise awareness about cancer prevention and early detection, provide vital financial aid for treatment, support pioneering research, and significantly enhance the quality of life for cancer patients. These efforts address immediate healthcare needs and foster long-term well-being in communities, contributing to a healthier and more resilient society.
