Pimpri: A 60-bed cancer hospital will soon be established in Thergaon Hospital under the public-private partnership to elevate the specialised cancer treatment in the city limits. The tender for the construction of this modern facility was made public on March 12.
The hospital is designed to be future-proof, with plans to expand up to 100 beds to meet the growing healthcare demands. Spanning 34,848 square feet, the facility aims to enhance patient convenience with integrated parking facilities, addressing transportation concerns and facilitating easy access to healthcare services.
In addition to common cancer treatments like chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery, the hospital will offer supportive services such as counselling and rehabilitation.
