Meharbhai Tata Memorial Hospital (MTMH) has provided a boost to cancer care in the city. Besides serving the people of Jharkhand, it extends its services to Government and Public Sector undertakings such as, SAIL, CCL, NML, Railways etc.
“Over the years, the rising number of cancer patients and advancement in cancer care threw up the need for expansion and upgradation of the hospital. In 2017, Tata Trusts approved a project to upgrade MTMH from a 72- bedded cancer hospital to a comprehensive 128-bedded cancer care facility,” said an official of the hospital.
The foundation laying ceremony for this project was done on 2nd March 2018 by Mr. Ratan Tata. Over a period of one year, a new extension building has come up in the TMH campus, connected to MTMH by a skybridge. The two buildings together house comprehensive cancer care facility, including an OPD, Medical Oncology and Radiotherapy wards, Day Care chemotherapy ward and Pritpal Palliative Care Centre (funded by Suri Foundation).
