The centre is expected to do about thousand cancer surgeries per annum and treat another thousand cancer patients at highly subsidized rates. There would be no compromise in the quality of treatment. The patient will get the same quality of treatment and would use the diagnostic services which are being used by local and international patients. The structure of Cancer Wing consists of 21 beds with 6 beds for Twin Sharing Facility & 2 Multi Sharing Rooms consisting of 5 beds & 4 beds each.
All admissions would happen through the MSW & self declaration of financial status would be accepted and no other proofs will be insisted.
