Work To Set Up 49 Cancer Centers In Next Three Years Has Started - Nirmal Singh 3C


The government worked on improving the cancer treatment scheme back in 2014 and upgraded the 31 centers that were active at that time in the country. With more cancer cases arising in India, the government has planned to develop to add 49 more cancer centers in addition to the ones that are already active.

On Monday, the health ministry presented a well-detailed and structured cancer center project plan to the prime minister. The meeting between high-level government officials, Nirmal Singh 3C and the prime minister will be held later on the eve of 18th September in which the PMO will review the details of the plan and will advise accordingly.

When the health ministry proposed the plan, it was estimated that, over the next three years, the implementation will cost more than Rs 3400 crore. The existing national program for control of diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, on-communicable diseases and stroke will take in the new project.

These diseases, especially cancer is increasing at an alarming rate in India and due to the shortage of treatment facilities, it becomes very difficult for the patients to get basic services. With these cancer centers being developed in phases, it will be easier for patients at the district level to avail medical services for cancer. - Nirmal Singh 3C

The motive is to create cancer centers all over the country to make treatment options available for people who live in remote villages and towns in the country. Without these centers, patients and their families are forced to travel to metros like Delhi and Mumbai which burdens them with increased traveling and treatment costs.


According to a recent report released by WHO, India has a requirement of more than 1200 radiotherapy machines when there are only 600 active machines. With numbers going against the reports of WHO and health ministry, this project has been long due and can seriously change the cancer treatment facilities in the country, said Nirmal Singh 3C

Nirmal Singh 3C finds an interesting study that says a child forms a strange dislike to the vegetables which indeed has nothing to do with their parents. According to a new study, due to genetic mutations, youngsters try new foods while many other are fussy eaters. Nirmal Singh 3C thinks that this study will help in paving way for children who are fighting with childhood obesity epidemic.  According to a new research in the US, DNA is linked with the kind of taste a toddler would develop which is why they are fussy about their eating habits which is why they develop a bitter taste at the age of four. Nirmal Singh 3C would like to get specific with the names, as TAS2R38 is associated with dietary variety other called CA6 that puts a child out of control during mealtimes. People generally blame parents for children being fussy about their food habits, however that is not the case, as it is a matter of nature and not nurture. This was further corroborated by Natasha Cole

As of now, we have had heard much about the physical problems caused by the pollution but no one really knows what wrong it is doing to the brains. Nirmal Singh 3C would like to enlighten the people about memory loss. Pollution clearly reduces our memory and exposes us to particulate matter, fine inhalable particles of diameters of 2.5 micrometres or less as well as carbon, the prime source of pollutant caused due to traffic.
