Giving a major boost to Assam and Northeast’s cancer treatment infrastructure, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday (July 25) inaugurated the Radio Therapy Block of State Cancer Institute at Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) in Guwahati.
He also dedicated the newly installed state-of-the-art Linear Accelerator machine at the centre to the service of the people.
This treatment facility apart from tremendously augmenting state’s fight against cancer, is expected to bring succour to the affected people in the region.
“Inaugurated the Radio Therapy Block and dedicated to people the new LINAC machine in the State Cancer Institute, Guwahati. This will go a long way in providing better and free of cost treatment for cancer patients,” Shah said in a tweet.
