CCCF is setting up a comprehensive cancer centre in the Government Medical College and Hospital premises, Chandrapur. This cancer centre will be a 140-bed facility with approximately 51 inpatient beds, 46 day-care beds, 20 ICU/HDU beds, and 23 recovery/ emergency rooms (ER) beds. It will focus on prevention, awareness, screening, early detection, treatment and palliative care. It will have the latest medical equipment for radiology, radiotherapy, nuclear medicine and other services to provide high-quality care closer to home, thus helping to reduce patients’ out-of-pocket expenses.

The state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment facility at the Chandrapur hospital will be supplemented by training current healthcare professionals and designing specialised fellowship and certificate programmes to strengthen the oncology workforce. This will ensure uniform, patient-centric delivery.

The Cancer Care Foundation will also work with the National Health Mission to activate the NCD (non-communicable disease) screening programme based on Government of India guidelines.
