(a) and (b): Patients with non-communicable diseases including cancer are getting treatment at various health  facilities  in  the  health  care  delivery  system  including  Districts  Hospitals,  Medical  Colleges, Central Institutes like AIIMS and private sector hospitals. The treatment in Government Hospitals is either free or highly subsidized for the poor and needy.

The Central Government is also implementing Strengthening of Tertiary Care of Cancer Scheme in order  to  enhance  the  facilities  for  tertiary  care  of  cancer.  19  State  Cancer  Institutes  (SCIs)  and  20 Tertiary Care Cancer Centres (TCCCs) have been approved so far under the said scheme. The details are attached in Annexure.

There  is  also  focus  on  Oncology  in  its  various  aspects  in  case  of  new  AIIMS  and  many  upgraded institutions under Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojna (PMSSY). Cancer treatment facility has been envisaged in all the 22 AIIMS. These AIIMS have been provided with state-of-art diagnostic, medical  and  surgical  care  facilities.  Cancer  treatment  facilities  have  also  been  planned  in  13  State Govt. Medical Colleges which have been taken up for upgradation under PMSSY.

Setting  up  of  National  Cancer  Institute  at  Jhajjar  (Haryana)  and  second  campus  of  Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute, Kolkata are also steps in this direction. All these enhance the capacity for treatment of cancer in the country.
