ABOUT HOSPITAL

Indraprastha Cancer Society and Research Centre, is a “not for profit organization”, formed under the Societies Registration Act 1860 and it had set up Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Centre, a standalone oncology care centre, in Delhi, in 1996. The founders of the society are a group of socially responsible self less philanthropist, who had no financial resources but by dent of their hard work and sheer determination, were able to, initially, raise money for running the hospital. Quality, affordability and easy access, for the patients suffering from cancer were the main motivating factors for setting up of the Hospital.
Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Centre (RGCIRC) inaugurated a dedicated lounge for a large number of patients from abroad that it receives every year in the national capital. “The International Patients’ lounge has been designed to work on a single window concept so as to facilitate the entire journey from admission to discharge, saving patients and their attendants unnecessary hassle while they are fighting a disease like cancer. Typically 7 to10 percent of our patients are from abroad at any point of time, majority from neighbouring countries including Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan”, said CEO of RGCIRC D S Negi.
