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

Does Smoking Cigarette Reduce Stress?

Image
Nirmal Singh 3C made a shocking revelation about cigarette and its harmful effects. As the recent study by the French National Center for Scientific Research, cigarette is the main reason of causing stress among people. Nirmal Singh 3C finds it pretty ironical that on one hand people smoke so as to vent out their stress and frustration, while on the other hand it is pilling more on the heap of stress. This has been further substantiated by a news story published in Efe which says:  an exposure to nicotine cause more stress rather than calming a person up. This is in fact causing rise in anxiety-inducing in smokers. The study has been produced after checking lab mice. The centre’s head of research, Philippe Faure, said: "(The experiments) suggest that nicotine could enhance the effects of stress." Nirmal Singh 3C further finds that the Scientists from the University of Paris-Seine's Neuroscience Laboratory and the University of Nice Sophia Annapolis' Inst...
