Cancer patients, requiring a bone marrow transplant, can now get it done at affordable costs at the State-run Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology.
To ensure that no patient battling cancer is deprived of timely treatment, a bone marrow transplant centre has been set up at the institute. Health and Medical Education Minister K. Sudhakar inaugurated the facility on Tuesday on the occasion of International Childhood Cancer Day.
“Bone marrow transplants are expensive surgeries which the poor cannot afford in private hospitals. The new facility at Kidwai will ensure no one is deprived of cancer treatment,” he said.
