In a monumental moment for India’s healthcare sector, Smt. Droupadi Murmu, Hon’ble President of India, formally inaugurated the Comprehensive Cancer Care Centre at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi. Joined by Shri V.K. Saxena, Hon’ble Lieutenant Governor of Delhi; Smt.

The President unveiled the ceremonial plaque and interacted with cancer patients during her visit, recognising the hospital’s unwavering commitment to Ethical, Affordable, and Compassionate care. Her esteemed presence, along with other distinguished dignitaries, marked a proud milestone in Sir Ganga Ram Hospital’s rich legacy of over seven decades.

This newly inaugurated, cutting-edge facility brings together Medical oncology, Surgical oncology, Radiation therapy, and Day-care Chemotherapy under one roof—creating a holistic, multidisciplinary centre dedicated to providing Personalised, Precise, and Advanced care to every cancer patient.

Rooted in the “Trust of Generations”, the journey of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital began in 1951. It was formally inaugurated on 13th April 1954, coinciding with Sir Ganga Ram’s birth anniversary. Since then, the hospital has grown into a premier healthcare institution, housing over 900 beds, 71 specialities, 100+ specialised clinics, and 35 advanced operating theatres.

The newly launched Cancer Care Centre not only represents a technological and clinical leap forward but also reinforces the hospital’s mission to serve with Equity, Empathy, and Excellence.
