Overview

Pandit Bhagwat Dayal Sharma Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS) Rohtak, a state-of-the-art cancer diagnostics and radiotherapy facility, has remained non-operational for the past three years, despite the completion of its infrastructure. The delay is due to the non-procurement of critical medical equipment and the lack of fresh financial approvals from the government.

The newly constructed buildings were designed to house advanced cancer treatment technologies, including PET scans, bone scans, bone marrow transplants, linear accelerators (LINAC), CyberKnife systems, and other nuclear medicine diagnostics. Over Rs 100 crore has already been spent on construction and initial planning for equipment, including Rs 27.98 crore for the two new buildings.
