Indiana Cancer Centre Set to Transform Cancer Care in Karnataka and Kerala

The Indiana Hospital & Heart Institute is poised to unveil a major advancement in cancer care with the launch of the Indiana Cancer Centre, slated for a grand opening in the first week of September 2024. This new facility aims to set a new benchmark in cancer treatment across Karnataka and Kerala, regions where such specialized care has been both scarce and costly. Strategically located at a pivotal junction on National Highway-66 in Mangalore—where the Bengaluru, Kerala, and Mumbai Highways converge—the Indiana Cancer Centre builds upon the Indiana Group’s legacy of 13 years in delivering high-quality, patient-centred healthcare. Known for its process-driven quality systems and adherence to international standards, the Indiana Hospital & Heart Institute has been a cornerstone of medical excellence in the region.

The Indiana Hospital & Heart Institute has been on a dynamic growth trajectory, significantly expanding its hospital network across Karnataka and Kerala. Over the past six months alone, the group has launched a new multi-specialty hospital in Hassan, a cardiac centre in Thalassery, Kerala, and an information centre in Pariyaram, Kerala, in addition to established hospitals in Mangaluru, Kottikulam (Kerala) and a Cardiac Centre in Chitradurga. This strategic expansion underscores Indiana's commitment to enhancing healthcare accessibility and quality in the region, solidifying its reputation as one of the fastest-growing hospital networks in southern India.

The Indiana Cancer Centre will address a critical need for advanced cancer treatment options in an area where such services have been limited. Dr. Yusuf Kumble, Managing Director of Indiana Hospital & Heart Institute, emphasizes the importance of this new venture: “Cancer care has long been underserved in our region. The Indiana Cancer Centre will bridge this gap by offering world-class, affordable cancer treatment, thus providing a beacon of hope for our community.” Cancer treatment has seen remarkable advancements in recent years, driven by breakthroughs in science and technology. The Indiana Cancer Centre is designed to incorporate these advancements, providing specialized, organ-specific cancer care. This approach, now standard in leading cancer centres worldwide, focuses on personalized treatment plans tailored to the unique needs of each patient.

This diverse and highly skilled team will work collaboratively to offer the most effective and personalized cancer treatments available, ensuring that every patient receives the best possible care.
