Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has invited detailed proposals for setting up centres of excellence for cancer care at the government medical colleges in Visakhapatnam, Guntur and Tirupati, saying that these centres would help in curbing the menace of cancer to which thousands of people were succumbing every year.
The fact that 34,000 people died of cancer in Andhra Pradesh (A.P.) in 2020 reflected the gravity of the situation, he stated.
