The government’s decision to set up cancer day care centers in district hospitals to make cancer treatment more accessible has been welcomed by the health sector. Dr. P.N. Arora, CMD of Yashoda Super Specialty Hospitals, Kaushambi, praised the steps taken in the 2025-26 budget to strengthen the healthcare sector. He particularly highlighted the decision to open 200 cancer day care centers in district hospitals as a major move that will facilitate early cancer detection and treatment, especially in remote areas.

Additionally, the exemption of customs duty on 36 essential medicines and reduced taxes on cancer drugs will make treatment more affordable for patients. The government’s plan to add 10,000 new medical seats in 2025-26 and increase the total by 75,000 seats over the next five years will further enhance healthcare services.

Dr. Arora expressed hope that more such reforms will be introduced in the coming years, ensuring that every individual has access to better and more affordable healthcare facilities.
