Need to set up a Day Care Cancer centre in the district hospital of Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh-Laid

Need to set up a Day Care Cancer centre in the district hospital of Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh-Laid DR. BHOLA SINGH (BULANDSHAHR): I would like to place on record my appreciation for the transformative strides made in the healthcare sector. The expansion of Ayushman Bharat, the strengthening of district-level healthcare infrastructure, the establishment of new AIIMS, and the wide network of Jan Aushadhi Kendras have significantly improved access to affordable healthcare across the country. These initiatives have brought relief and reassurance to millions of families. However, cancer cases are increasing in the Bulandshahr Lok Sabha Constituency of Uttar Pradesh. Patients, particularly from rural areas, are compelled to travel to Delhi and other metropolitan cities for chemotherapy and related treatment. This causes considerable physical hardship, financial strain, and emotional distress to patients and their families. Establishing a Day Care Cancer Centre in the district hospital of Bulandshahr would provide timely treatment closer to home, reduce out-of-pocket expenditure, and ease the burden on tertiary hospitals. I, therefore, urge the Government to prioritise the establishment of a Day Care Cancer Centre in Bulandshahr to ensure accessible and affordable cancer care at the district level.
