A state-of-the-art medical equipment, including an advanced CT Scan and Bi-Plane DSA machines, handed over under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative by the Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID), were inaugurated at Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre in Punjab’s New Chandigarh on Friday to provide precise imaging and minimally invasive vascular procedures for cancer patients in the region.
HBCH&RC Director Dr Ashish Gulia chaired the ceremony, which was also attended by independent directors of POWERGRID.
“The integration of this cutting-edge technology into our clinical workflow is a transformative step for patient care in Punjab. These machines do more than just provide better images; they allow for earlier detection and highly complex interventional procedures that save lives. We are deeply grateful to POWERGRID for their commitment to public health, which empowers us to deliver faster, more accurate treatment to those who need it most,” Dr Gulia said.
“Now, with a total capacity of 450 beds, Tata Memorial Centre, Punjab, is one of the largest tertiary public cancer care centres in the entire northern India region, dedicated to providing global-standard cancer care to patients’ doorsteps irrespective of their socioeconomic status,” Dr Gulia added.
