Bengal cancer institute to get second campus
By IANSSaturday, August 21, 2010
KOLKATA - Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad Saturday said a second campus of the world class Chittranjan National Cancer Institute will be set up in West Bengal.
“The state government has identified a 10-acre plot in Rajarhat (in the city’s north eastern outskirts). We want to make a world class cancer hospital here to help the patients. The existing Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute is old and small in size.
“The financial part will be worked out by the state and central governments,” Azad told reporters.
The hospital is slated to be a 500-bed facility where all kinds of cancer treatment will be done, said a senior health official.
