The Kalyan Singh Super Speciality Cancer Institute in Lucknow is set to receive a major technological boost, with the Uttar Pradesh government approving funds to equip it with advanced medical machinery for modern cancer care.
Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak has approved financial sanctions of ₹129.06 crore for the procurement of state-of-the-art equipment. “Cancer patients from across the state seek treatment at the institute, and it is the government’s responsibility to ensure they receive the best possible care,” Pathak said, adding that several critical machines will be purchased under this allocation.
Recently, the institute also installed a CyberKnife system, an advanced technology used for treating cancers of the lung, liver, kidney, and prostate. This marks the first CyberKnife machine installed in a government medical facility in Uttar Pradesh.
In a related development, ₹11.46 crore worth of equipment has been sanctioned for the Government Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS) in Greater Noida to upgrade its treatment infrastructure.
Pathak emphasised the government’s broader vision, stating that “the government is working to modernise healthcare in all state-run hospitals and institutes by introducing advanced technology and equipment.”
