The Maharashtra government has announced plans to establish world‑class cancer treatment and research centres across the state, aiming to improve patient outcomes and foster medical research.
The Maharashtra government has unveiled a comprehensive plan to develop international‑standard cancer care and research facilities across the state. The initiative will involve setting up advanced treatment centres equipped with state‑of‑the‑art diagnostics, radiotherapy and surgical units.
The objective is to reduce cancer mortality rates by providing early detection and cutting‑edge therapies, while also creating a hub for clinical research and collaboration with leading global institutions.
Officials said the project will be phased, with initial sites in major cities followed by expansion into smaller towns. Funding will be sourced from state budgets and public‑private partnerships.
The government has called for proposals from medical organisations and researchers, and expects the first centres to become operational by the end of 2025.
