Mapping & appropriate awareness
Community context, targeted awareness and programme-defined entry without treating public education as diagnosis or screening.
Community Cancer Care Programme · CCCP
From cancer concern to continuity beyond the hospital.
CCCP is SCF's cancer-care continuum. It connects community awareness and appropriate concern identification with qualified specialist referral, diagnostic tracking, treatment navigation, financial or entitlement support where applicable, supportive care, survivorship and documented follow-up.
Cancer Continuum
One pathway, several controlled stages.
Each stage has a different evidence meaning. Awareness is not screening; referral is not diagnosis; a hospital visit is not automatically treatment completion; support episodes are not unique-patient outcomes.
AwarenessCommunity education and targeted outreach.
ConcernRisk, symptom or red-flag identification within programme scope.
ReferralQualified diagnostic or specialist linkage.
TreatmentNavigation and continuity after clinical confirmation.
SupportEntitlement, family, supportive and palliative pathways as applicable.
Follow-upSurvivorship, continuity, closure or transfer.
Core Architecture
Mapping, navigation and continuity form one controlled system.
Referral & diagnostic tracking
Cancer concern escalation, specialist linkage, diagnostic pathway tracking, barrier action and documented handover.
Treatment & review
Curative, supportive and palliative pathway continuity, site-specific routing, monthly review, case conference and reconciliation.
Distinct patientsSeparate from visits, consultations and treatment episodes.
Referral completionReferral created is not referral completed.
Treatment continuityTrack start, interruption, transfer and follow-up.
Support linkageEntitlement and supportive-care pathways are separately evidenced.
Integrated CCCP continuity
SPARSH and UMANG extend the cancer pathway where needs differ.
They are not separate peer programmes on the public architecture. They are specialised continuity components activated when the person's or family's needs require them.
Supportive & palliative continuity
Need identification → home review → caregiver guidance → clinical escalation → follow-up, transfer or closure. Home care connects back to the treating team rather than operating as a parallel hospital.
Paediatric cancer & blood-disorder family continuity
Specialist linkage, missed-care follow-up, family barriers, entitlement navigation, consent/assent, psychosocial coordination and safeguarding-aware continuity.

Protected operational layer: referrals, diagnostic source references, treatment continuity, SPARSH visits, UMANG child/family records and monthly reconciliation remain in controlled SCF systems.
Evidence & Projection
Public impact follows reconciled care-continuity evidence.
CCCP reporting should distinguish awareness contacts, referrals, confirmed linkages, diagnostic steps, treatment episodes, assistance episodes, SPARSH visits and distinct patients. These measures answer different questions and are not interchangeable.
Referral cascadeConcern → referral → linkage → completion.
Diagnostic continuityPlanned step, barrier, completion and next action.
Treatment continuityStarted, tracking, interrupted, transferred or closed.
Support continuitySPARSH / UMANG activity linked to the underlying case.
Roadmap
Strengthen the continuum before expanding the footprint.
The next maturity layer is consistent operational use: one case reference, stage-specific registers, documented barriers, component-level continuity and monthly reconciliation across CCCP, SPARSH and UMANG.
