Cancer care is changing rapidly worldwide, and use of digital tools and technologies are playing a key role in driving this change – improving quality, access, and cost of care. Digital technologies are being used across the entire patient journey – screening, diagnostics, treatment, hospital care, home care and survivorship. It is imperative for India to have a strong focus on Digital Health to improve cancer care – make it more consistent, evidence based, accessible and affordable.

We are very excited about the establishment of Koita Centre for Digital Oncology in NCG. The new centre will enable more than 280 NCG partner hospitals to assess and deploy digital tools to enhance cancer care and make it more accessible and affordable across India
