There is pathetic dearth of cancer specialists in India. As per the report from Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, submitted to Medical Council of India, all cancer institutes in the country produce merely 45 surgical oncologists in a year!
Cancer is projected to be major killer globally by 2025. About 5.5 lakh people die of cancer every year and over 8 lakh Indian are diagnosed with cancer annually.
In view of the above numbers and the Indian population, will this number of cancer experts produced annually is adequate?
