The Central Government is 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 financial assistance under the scheme is utilised for procurement of radiotherapy equipment, diagnostic equipment, surgical equipment, enhancement of indoor patient facility for cancer and such other purposes relevant for diagnosis, treatment and care of cancer. 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).  Setting  up  of National Cancer Institute at Jhajjar (Haryana) and second campus of Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute, Kolkata are also steps in the same direction.
