Update Now(Jun 14, 2024): The Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (MDoNER) has allocated Rs 217.19 crore for the establishment of a State Cancer Institute at Midpu, Doimukh, Itanagar Capital Region (ICR), Arunachal Pradesh. This significant investment aims to create a state-of-the-art, 76-bed comprehensive cancer treatment centre.
The new institute is being developed in collaboration with Dr. B Borooah Cancer Institute in Guwahati, Assam, and Tata Memorial Centre in Mumbai.

Together, let us fight the cancer menace!”
The establishment of this institute is a crucial step in addressing the healthcare needs of cancer patients in Arunachal Pradesh, aiming to alleviate the burden on those seeking advanced treatment and bringing high-quality healthcare closer to home.
