Experts Sound Alarm: Cancer Care Budget Misses Key Healthcare Needs

Healthcare experts have raised concerns over the recent budget proposal for establishing 200 cancer care centres, stating it’s insufficient without a focus on skilled oncologists, trained nurses, and advanced medical equipment. While the initiative aims to improve cancer treatment access, experts stress that infrastructure alone isn’t enough to ensure quality care. “Without the right workforce and equipment, these centres may struggle to meet patient needs,” warned a leading oncologist. Strengthening human resources and technology is crucial to making this proposal effective.
