With the objective of providing world-class and affordable cancer treatment to patients in sub-urban and district regions of West Bengal, such as North 24 Parganas, Nadia and Hooghly, Medella Karkinos Oncology Institute (Karkinos Healthcare Kolkata), one of the leading purpose-driven technology-led oncology platforms, has announced to strengthen its cancer care services with the launch of new advanced facilities.
Located at Kamarhati, Agarpara in North 24 Parganas, Medella Karkinos Oncology Institute will now offer state-of-the-art cancer care services including Gastro Clinic, Breast Care Clinic, Head & Neck-Dental Clinic, Pain & Palliative Clinic and Gyne-onco Clinic at the hospital.
Dr. Akther Jawade, Director East, Karkinos Healthcare said, “There has been a significant rise in cancer cases in West Bengal over the past few years. Currently, more than 100,000 new cancer cases are detected annually. Breast, lung, cervical, prostate and oral cancers are the most common cancers seen in the state. The lack of awareness around cancer and the limited availability of quality treatment contribute to the high cancer mortality rate. Our primary focus is to provide world class yet affordable and accessible cancer treatment to the people living in semi-urban and rural areas of the state. Keeping this in mind, we have expanded our services with the launch of advanced facilities. Most of these services are concentrated in Kolkata and hence there was a pressing need to make these advanced facilities accessible to the patients from sub-urban and district towns.”
Dr. Akther Jawade added, “Medella Karkinos Oncology Institute is a comprehensive cancer care hospital with facilities such as radiation oncology (Halcyon-Radiation Machine), medical oncology and surgical oncology, all under one-roof. We are also empanelled with Swasthya Sathi Health Card which helps many patients to receive cancer treatment at our hospital. With technology-driven, world-class facilities and a team of best doctors, the Hospital helps thousands of patients access high-quality and affordable cancer care. Our Centre not only offers the best of medical services but also saves valuable time for patients coming from districts such as North 24 Parganas, Nadia, Hooghly, and others for cancer treatment.”
To address the rising burden of cancer in the region, Medella Karkinos Oncology Institute aims to offer a comprehensive cancer care solution by integrating advanced infrastructure, clinical expertise, and cutting-edge technology, bringing holistic care closer to communities in need.
