As part of fulfilling the promise by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the 6th BIMSTEC Summit to help BIMSTEC countries in cancer care, India hosted senior physicians and policy makers from BIMSTEC countries at the annual meeting of the National Cancer Grid (NCG) on August 2-3 at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai.
“The initiative will help our BIMSTEC partners build their capacities in the critical area of cancer care, with the expertise and skills developed in India,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Wednesday.
The meeting of cancer centre directors, researchers, patient advocates and policy makers from India and around the world showcased the breadth of NCG’s initiatives, reviewed progress, and charted the course for future collaborative efforts.
