A new cancer super-specialty hospital is to be opened in Nalanda, Bihar by the central government. This hospital will have 350 beds. It is going to be the first specialty cancer hospital in the state by the government.
Unfortunately, since there currently is no cancer hospital in the state, residents are forced to go elsewhere for treatment. Depending on the specialty, this can be very far from patients' homes.
Dr. Jagdish Prasad, Director General of Health Services is from a village in the area.
“The main purpose behind setting up a cancer hospital is to provide the facility to cancer patients and help them to get affordable treatment in the state,” Dr Prasad said.
So far there is no confirmation as to when the hospital will be opened.
