Shatabdi Hospital to launch chemotherapy services in September
A new hospital in Mumbai called Shatabdi Hospital is going to start giving chemotherapy treatments in September.
This is great news for people who live in the western parts of Mumbai because they won't have to travel far to get their treatments.
Right now, they have to go to a hospital called Tata Memorial Hospital, which is quite far away.
The new hospital will have all the necessary equipment and doctors to help patients.
This will make things easier for patients, especially older ones who find traveling difficult.
It will also help Tata Memorial Hospital because they won't have as many patients to take care of.
Shatabdi Hospital in Kandivali, Mumbai, will launch chemotherapy services in September 2026.
The new facility aims to reduce travel time and costs for cancer patients in the western suburbs.
Current chemotherapy services are centralized at Tata Memorial Hospital in Parel.
The new ward will ease the burden on Tata Memorial Hospital, allowing faster care for specialized treatments.
The hospital is procuring equipment, stocking medicines, and deploying trained staff for the new service.
