While Health is
a State subject, the Central Government supplements the efforts of the State
Governments for improving healthcare including prevention, diagnosis and
treatment of cancer.
Government of
India had launched a comprehensive National Programme for Prevention and Control
of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke (NPCDCS) in 2010 with
focus on 3 sites namely breast, cervical and oral cancer. From 2013-14
onwards, interventions under NPCDCS for prevention, early detection, diagnosis
and treatment of cancer, which can be taken up upto District level, have been
brought under the umbrella of National Health Mission.
In addition, the
Government has in the year 2013-14, approved a scheme for enhancing the
Tertiary Care Cancer facilities in the country. Under this scheme (tertiary
component of NPCDCS), Government of India will assist 20 State Cancer
Institutes (SCI) and 50 Tertiary Care Cancer Centres (TCCC) in different parts
of the country. The maximum assistance inclusive of State Share for SCI is
Rs.120 crores and for TCCC is Rs.45 crores. The Central and State share will be
in the ratio 75:25, and for North East and Hill States this ratio would be
90:10. Government of India also provides treatment of cancer through Central
Government Hospitals/Institutions in different parts of the country such as All
India Institute of Medical Sciences, Safdarjung Hospital, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia
Hospital, PGIMER Chandigarh, JIPMER Puducherry, Chittranjan National Cancer
Institute, Kolkata etc. Oncology in its various aspects has focus in case of
new AIIMS and many upgraded institutions under Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha
Yojna (PMSSY). The proposal of setting up of National Cancer Institute at
Jhajjar and development of 2nd campus of Chittaranjan National
Cancer Institute, Kolkata has also been approved.
In addition to
Information Education Communication (IEC) activities being undertaken by the
State Governments, NPCDCS and National Tobacco Control Programme are carrying
out activities related to health promotion including avoidance of Tobacco use
