The state government is planning to rope in the BMC to strengthen cancer care and other critical treatment facilities, amid concerns over rising costs and inadequate infrastructure.
The issue was raised in the Assembly on Tuesday, where members urged the state health minister to improve facilities for cancer treatment, dialysis, and other essential services, citing the high expense of treatment and the poor patient-to-facility ratio in the state.
