A new cancer day‑care centre has started at Vidisha's medical college, offering chemotherapy, diagnostics and specialist advice, reducing the need for patients to travel to larger cities.
The medical college in Vidisha, Madhya Pradesh, has launched a dedicated cancer day‑care centre aimed at providing comprehensive outpatient services to oncology patients. The facility is equipped to deliver chemotherapy, conduct essential diagnostic tests and offer consultations with cancer specialists, all under one roof.
The centre is a joint initiative supported by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and the Tata Memorial Centre, two premier institutions in cancer care. Their collaboration brings expertise, training and protocol guidance to the new unit, ensuring that treatment standards align with national benchmarks.
By bringing these services to Vidisha, the centre is expected to cut down the long journeys that patients from central India previously undertook to reach metropolitan hospitals. Local residents will now have access to timely cancer care without the financial and logistical burdens of traveling far.
Health officials said the day‑care model will also help decongest larger tertiary hospitals, allowing them to focus on more complex cases while routine chemotherapy and follow‑up visits are managed locally.
The launch marks a significant step toward expanding equitable cancer treatment infrastructure in smaller cities across the country.
