Finally, Ahmedabad gets a comprehensive cancer centre under one roof. My uncle had to travel to Mumbai for radiation therapy last year – this will save so many families time and money. Hope the charges are kept reasonable for common people. 🙏
Good medical infrastructure, but why mix political speeches about West Bengal and infiltrators with a healthcare inauguration? Keep politics separate from such noble causes. Focus on cancer patients, not vote banks.
Halcyon system is a game-changer – faster treatment with fewer side effects. As someone whose mother battled cancer, I know how crucial this is. Kudos to Dr. Devi Shetty and team for expanding to Ahmedabad. More such centres in tier-2 cities please! 🌟
Great development for Gujarat's healthcare. But Amit Shah's speech about 'infiltrators' was completely irrelevant here. Let's appreciate the cancer centre and leave politics for election rallies. Integrated oncology care is what matters today. 👏
This is wonderful news for cancer patients in Gujarat! Halcyon technology means precise treatment with minimal damage to healthy cells. Hope the hospital also offers subsidised treatment for low-income families. Cancer treatment should not bankrupt anyone. 💪
