Patients will also benefit from high-end diagnostic services such as PET scans, MRI and CT scans, along with treatments like brachytherapy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
The initiative aims to provide affordable and accessible cancer care to patients coming from across the country, with treatment available under government health schemes at minimal or no cost.
Expansion of hospital infrastructure
The broader Phase 2 redevelopment project will significantly expand the hospital’s capacity and services. New infrastructure will include a main hospital building, emergency services block and a separate outpatient department building, increasing the total bed capacity to 3,286.
The 15-storey main hospital building will accommodate 2,200 beds and will be equipped with modern radiology services, expanded operation theatres and a centralised registration system. Advanced features such as a pneumatic chute system for rapid transfer of laboratory samples will be introduced to improve efficiency.
In addition, a 14-storey emergency services building will cater to critical and trauma care with dedicated operation theatres, imaging facilities and advanced life support systems, ensuring immediate treatment for serious cases.
A separate 13-storey outpatient building is also planned to manage the growing number of daily patients, with over 100 consultation rooms, laboratories and a blood bank.
