Addressing the growing need for cancer treatment infrastructure, the Minister announced that cancer care services are being scaled up in response to the rising number of patients.

In a significant development, District Cancer Care Centres are being established in new districts, and plans are in place to set up Regional Cancer Care Centres in former district headquarters. “These initiatives will bring quality cancer care closer to people, reducing the burden on Hyderabad-based facilities,” Rajanarsimha stated.

The Minister reiterated the government's commitment to ensuring accessible and comprehensive healthcare at the grassroots level, saying, “Once the new centres are operational, patients will no longer have to travel long distances for quality treatment.”
