Paras Healthcare introduces radiation oncology facility at Ranchi

The newly inaugurated facility bridges this gap by offering metro-grade treatment closer to home

Paras Healthcare Limited has launched a state-of-the-art radiation oncology facility at its Ranchi hospital. With this addition, Paras Healthcare Limited Ranchi becomes one of the few centers in Jharkhand offering comprehensive, end-to-end oncology care—from early diagnosis and medical management to surgical and now advanced radiotherapy—all under one roof.

This milestone is particularly significant for Jharkhand, where cancer incidence has been steadily rising. As per ICMR-NCRP data shared by the Ministry of Health, the number of estimated cancer cases in the state increased from 33,961 in 2020 to 35,860 in 2022. Despite this growing burden, patients have long faced challenges in accessing complete cancer treatment locally, often needing to travel to metro cities for radiation therapy—an emotionally and financially strenuous process.

The newly inaugurated facility bridges this gap by offering metro-grade treatment closer to home. At its core is the Varian Halcyon system, a next-generation radiotherapy platform that delivers precision-targeted treatment for a wide range of cancers. The system improves patient experience with shorter treatment durations, better imaging accuracy, and enhanced safety protocols that adhere to international standards.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Dharminder Nagar, Managing Director, Paras Health, said: "Cancer care is not just about technology—it’s about accessibility, empathy, and early action. With this new facility, we are reinforcing our mission to decentralize advanced healthcare and take world-class treatment to cities like Ranchi and nearby places where the need is high, but access has traditionally been limited."

With India reporting over 14 lakh new cancer cases annually, timely intervention remains one of the biggest challenges. Paras Healthcare Limited’s expansion in Ranchi reflects its broader commitment to bridging healthcare gaps in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities through cutting-edge infrastructure, clinical expertise, and community-driven healthcare models.
