To  enhance  the  facilities  for  tertiary  care  of  cancer,  the  Central  Governme implementing Strengthening of Tertiary Care Cancer facilities scheme to support setting State Cancer Institutes (SCI) and Tertiary Care Cancer Centr es (TCCC) in different parts of the country. Under the scheme, 63 proposals for setting up SCIs and TCCCs were received fr State Governments, out of which proposals for 16 SCIs and 20 TCCCs have been approved a per the details at Annexure - II. The defici encies in rest of the proposals, including proposals fo setting up of SCI at Bilaspur and TCCC at District Koriya, received from the Governmen Chhattisgarh, were communicated to the respective State Governments.

In the meanwhile, approval for co ntinuation of the scheme till year 2020 ,received in February 2019, provides for setting up of 4 new SCIs, including one at Bilaspur. As p approval,  there  is  no  provision  for  setting  up  of  new  TCCCs  in  States/UTs.  Therefore proposal of TCCC fro m Chhattisgarh cannot be considered.

27 Regional Cancer Centres were also set up under the erstwhile National Cancer Con Programme. Oncology  is  one  of  the focus  areas  in  case  of  new  AIIMS  and  many  upgraded institutions under Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojna (PMSSY). Setting up of National Cancer  Institute  at  Jhajjar  (Haryana)  and  second  campus  of  Chittaranjan  National  Ca Institute, Kolkata has also been approved. All these will enhance the capacity for preven treatment of cancer in the country.
