Centre sanctions 14 new day-care cancer centres for Andhra Pradesh
The Union government has sanctioned 14 new day-care cancer centres for Andhra Pradesh under the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke (NPCDCS). Each centre will receive ₹2.40 crore for establishment and ₹1.49 crore annually for operational expenses from the second year. Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda announced this in the Lok Sabha, highlighting the government's focus on decentralizing cancer care. This initiative aims to improve early detection and treatment access in underserved regions, making it highly relevant for health policy and governance questions in competitive exams.
