Support to Healthcare

Day Care Oncology Centres:

• Cancer is one of the biggest health concern in India and cancer treatment and care is prohibitively expensive. 92% patients from rural households do not have proper infrastructure and specialist support.
• Appreciating the huge imbalance in the facilities for treating cancer, we at Reliance Infrastructure with support from Mandke Foundation are establishing Cancer care center in Maharashtra. We have initiated the project at Akola and Jalna District, of Maharashtra to provide medical, radiation and surgical oncology to rural populace in a phase wise manner.
• These centers would focus on bridging the present gaps in cancer treatment facilities in rural India apart from bringing in state of the art technology and other resources on ground. The focus would be to provide day care services including chemotherapies, radiation, and diagnostics including PET CT besides consultations and telemedicine.
