The new hospital is equipped to offer multi-speciality modalities for complete cancer care.

During the virtual inauguration, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was cited by Telegraph India as saying: “As of now, there is no cure for cancer, but with proper treatment, patients can be provided with some comfort. This is a big hospital and I would like to congratulate everyone associated with the facility for starting something like this.”

It will also feature facilities for reconstructive surgery, radiation oncology, pain management, palliative care, preventive gynaecology, nuclear medicine, as well as onco pathology, added the publication.
