Mumbai: In a move to strengthen cancer treatment, the Maharashtra cabinet on Tuesday approved a comprehensive cancer care policy. Under this initiative, the government will set up the Maharashtra Cancer Care, Research and Education (MAHACARE) Foundation to oversee and coordinate cancer treatment across 18 hospitals.
According to the PTI report, hospitals will be categorised into L1, L2, and L3 centres. While the Tata Memorial Hospital has been designated as the "L1 apex centre", eight hospitals have been identified as L2 centres and nine as L3 centres, covering key cities of Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Nashik and Amravati, the release said.
