The Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, New Chandigarh, announced that it has empanelled with the Himachal Pradesh government under the Mukhya Mantri Himachal Health Care Scheme (HIMCARE).

The partnership aims to provide comprehensive and cashless cancer treatment services to the residents of Himachal Pradesh.

This partnership will allow patients from Himachal Pradesh to avail cashless cancer treatment at our hospital, ensuring that no one is deprived of essential medical care due to financial constraints."
