Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Apr 27 (UNI) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis along with Union Minister for Health, J P Nadda, inaugurated the True Beam Unit, a state-of-the-art machine providing highly specialised cancer treatment at the Government Cancer Hospital, and the expanded part of the Cancer Institute here on Sunday.

Addressing the gathering, he said that a three-tier system in healthcare will be set up in next three to four years in coordination with the Public Health Department and the Medical Education Department.



Through this, a new model will be created to provide quality healthcare to every person within three to five kilometres of his home, he informed.

While expressing satisfaction that modern facilities like True Beam for cancer treatment are being made available in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, the Chief Minister said that with modern equipment like True Beam, it has become possible to treat the area where the infection is present with precision through radiation.

For this treatment, patients had to go to Tata Memorial Hospital in the state, he recalled and said now, this service is available at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar itself.

This facility will be a boon for cancer patients in Marathwada and the neighbouring districts, he added.
