The Union Cabinet on Thursday approved the proposal for setting up of a National Cancer Institute at Rs 2,035 crore in Haryana.
The institute will be set up in the Jhajjar campus of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, located in Badhsa village. The project is estimated to be completed in 45 months, an official release said.
The move shall lessen the deficit of tertiary cancer care in the northern region, the release said, adding that the institute will operate on the lines of NCI, US, and DKFZ, Germany, as a nodal centre for indigenous research, promotive, preventive and curative aspects of care and human resource development.
“The proposed institute will broadly have clinical division, research division, and disease management groups and will have 710 beds for different facilities. It will also have a tissue repository, the first of its kind in India,’’ the release added.
HSCC (India) Ltd, a public sector enterprise under the administrative control of the Health & Family Welfare Ministry, has been appointed as project consultant by AIIMS, New Delhi.
