Analysis:

This message started circulating through various blogs, forums and social networking sites, claiming to provide free medicine for blood cancer. The Adyar Cancer Institute is indeed a real health organization in chennai. It has had a good track record in treatment and research of various types of cancer since it was established in 1954. The cancer medicine Imitinef Mercilet, rightly spelt as Imatinib mesylate, is a drug used in the treatment of certain types of leukemia and cancers related to blood. But not all types of blood cancers can be treated with Imatinib medicine alone, they need various kinds of treatment like radiation therapy as well. And it is also a fact that the Adyar Cancer Institute hospital provides Imatinib or Imitinef free of charge for the cancer patients admitted to the hospital.

But, the Institute does not provide the drug to any body without proper prescription or diagnosis at their center. Depending on the seriousness and type of cancer, they either provide free cancer medicine or subsidized treatment for everyone admitted to the hospital.

Also to note that Adyar is not the only institute providing free Imitinef Mercilet (Imatinib) for cancer patients, there are many other facilities around the world.
