Top Private and Government Hospitals you can visit
Hospitals for treatment of cancer
When you have been living in a particular place for a long time, you become familiar with the area and the facilities available there. You generally would have a grocery shop, a barber, a laundry and also a family doctor. You are likely to interact with the same people and follow their advice. Given the way people move from place to place for better career opportunities, they need to settle in a new neighbourhood every time. You have to find a new set of people to provide you with daily needs.
Continuity of Treatment
As far as the medical requirements are concerned, it helps to have a doctor who knows your medical history. When changing homes, this becomes difficult to manage. A solution to that is to visit hospitals or clinics that belong to a common group. In such hospitals, the records from one institution can be made available to a doctor in another. The records can also be shared across departments within the same hospital. This provides you with continuity in your medical treatment.
Benefits of Staying with One Hospital
For instance, if you have to visit a cancer hospital in India and you are registered with another department or another branch of the same hospital, all your records will be accessible by the oncologist that you may need to visit. This will save you the hassle of sharing your medical history with the doctors. You will also not need to repeat any tests, which might be the case if you went to a hospital from another group.

This list includes only a few of the institutions that are dedicated to the treatment of this dreaded disease. In India, the research is carried out in many other cities across the country. The list of hospitals providing cancer treatment would be incomplete without the many hospitals in the various states of India that provide treatment for cancer along with other medical facilities. These play an important role in serving the patients.
The patients can choose from the many hospitals and clinics providing the treatment depending on their location, financial capabilities and the availability of the facility for a particular type of cancer. If one wants to go to a specialised hospital, there are many. The varying factor here would be availability and price. Private hospitals are good for those who are willing to avail of the comforts they can provide you during the course of your treatment
