Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre on Wednesday in Mohali. While inaugurating, he laid down the six fronts on which the Central government is making “record investments” to boost healthcare services in the country.

Addressing the occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “The healthcare services are being strengthened on six fronts. The first front is encouraging prevention healthcare. The second one is opening small and modern hospitals. The third front is opening big institutes of medical colleges and research. The fourth front is increasing the number of doctors and paramedical staff in the country. The fifth one is to make medicines available to patients at cheap rates and affordable medical equipment. The sixth is lessening the patients’ problems using technology. The Centre is making record investments in these six fronts.”

The Centre has prioritised holistic healthcare during its tenure since 2014. The Prime Minister highlighted that the healthcare system of the country can be strengthened only when hospitals provide solutions to the problems.

He further stated, “When the people of India will get modern hospitals and facilities for treatment, then they will get well sooner, and their energy will be channeled in the right direction.”

He also said that the work done in the healthcare field in the past eight years has not been done “even in the last 70 years.”

On the eve of Independence Day, he gave his address to the nation and set the target to make India a developed country by its 100th year of Independence. It is significant to develop healthcare services to achieve the purpose. The country has got an advanced hospital in the form of Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, he said.

Prime Minister Narendra dedicated Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre to the Nation in Punjab’s Mohali district, in an endeavour to deliver world-class cancer care to the residents of Punjab and neighbouring states, and Union Territories. PM Modi was felicitated by Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann during the inauguration of the centre.

The cancer hospital is a tertiary care hospital with a 300-bed capacity. It is rigged with modern facilities to minister to all types of cancers using every available treatment modality like Surgery, Radiotherapy, Medical Oncology – Chemotherapy, Immunotherapy, and Bone marrow transplant.

The Hospital will operate like a ‘hub’ of cancer care and treatment in the region, along with the 100-bed hospital in Sangrur.
