Aurobindo Pharma | Hyderabad, April 16 (Maxim News): The Telangana government in collaboration with Aurobindo Pharma inaugurated the high-end cancer care block at MNJ Cancer Hospital. The eight-storied 300 bedded new cancer care block spread over 2.32 lakh sq. ft is developed by the Aurobindo Pharma Foundation, the CSR wing of Aurobindo Pharma at a cost of Rs. 80 crores.
Minister for Medical, Health and Family Welfare and Finance T. Harish Rao inaugurated the cancer block along with Union Minister for Tourism g. Kishan Reddy said, “The new block increases the number of specialty cancer care beds at MNJ Cancer Hospital to 750 beds. On its part, the Telangana government has incurred an expenditure of nearly Rs. 60 crores to develop MNJ Cancer Hospital. I thank Aurobindo Pharma for developing this block.
The modern cancer care block will have separate wings for women and children. To ensure continuity in the education of children who are undergoing treatment, the pediatric wing will have a dedicated teacher and a library, he said.
The new facility will also have an exclusive department for conducting highly expensive cancer treatments like bone marrow transplants, Typically, bone marrow transplants cost upwards of Rs. 10 lakh and such treatments will be covered under Arogyasri and the patients will also receive life-saving drugs for their entire lifetime for free.
In the coming year, patients will have 10,000 super-specialty beds in government hospitals. In addition to strengthening existing facilities at NIMS, MNJ, Osmania, and Gandhi Hospital, the Telangana government is developing four more super specialty hospitals in and around Hyderabad and one super specialty healthcare city in Warangal, he said.
