New Delhi, Jan. 22 -- A modern radiation therapy machine will be installed at the Delhi State Cancer Institute (DSCI) by the end of March this year, boosting the state's cancer treatment capacity, after the institute signed an agreement with Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) on Wednesday.
The project is being supported under IOCL's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. The MoU was inked at the Delhi Secretariat in the presence of senior officials from the Health Ministry, DSCI, and IOCL.
After installation, it will take another nine months to make the machine operational, officials noted. The high-end Linear Accelerator will need commissioning and mandatory approvals from the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB).
