The new facilities aim to provide comprehensive cancer care, including early detection, diagnosis, and treatment, as part of a broader strategy to improve healthcare infrastructure.
Officials say the institutes will reduce the need for patients to travel to distant cities for specialized care, making advanced diagnostics and therapies more accessible.
The state plans to offer these services at affordable rates, with a focus on training local medical staff and conducting research on regional cancer patterns.
