Meghalaya’s regional cancer centre aims to be a gamechanger in northeast
The Regional Cancer Centre (RCC) at North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health & Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS) Mawdiangdiang in Shillong is expected to be a game-changer in the combat against the disease in Meghalaya.
The region is considered as a ‘Cancer Capital’ with the rise in cases.
The state-of-the-art 252-bed facility, comprising all three branches of oncology – Surgical, Medical and Radiation Oncology, is expected to become the centre for cancer treatment in the entire northeast region of India, reports East Mojo.
Indian Multinational conglomerate Company Larsen & Toubro (L&T) constructed the seven-floor building.
The structure was completed last year.
The Regional Cancer Centre at NEIGRIHMS is a composite unit having all three branches of oncology – Surgical, Medical and Radiation Oncology, the news portal reported.
