The  Regional Cancer Centre (RCC) at North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health & Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS) Mawdiangdiang in Shillong is expected to be a game-changer in the combat against the disease in Meghalaya.

The region is considered as a  ‘Cancer Capital’ with the rise in cases.

The state-of-the-art 252-bed facility, comprising all three branches of oncology – Surgical, Medical and Radiation Oncology, is expected to become the centre for cancer treatment in the entire northeast region of India, reports East Mojo.

Indian Multinational conglomerate Company Larsen & Toubro (L&T) constructed the  seven-floor building.

The structure was completed last year.

The Regional Cancer Centre at NEIGRIHMS is a composite unit having all three branches of oncology – Surgical, Medical and Radiation Oncology, the news portal reported.
