The hospital, built in about 9 years near the hills of Shivalik, has been built on about 51 acres of land. Due to the increase in the number of cancer patients in Punjab, the Congress government led by Dr. Manmohan Singh decided to build a cancer hospital and research center near Chandigarh.

The construction of this hospital will provide a boost to the modern medical infrastructure in the National Capital Region, providing world-class cancer care and treatment to the people of Tricity, Punjab and states and Union Territories. 300 beds have been arranged in the hospital.

The hospital will be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for all types of cancer treatment. Surgery, Radio-therapy and Medical Oncology- Chemotherapy, Immunotherapy and Bone Marrow Transplant facility will be available here. A 100-bed hospital in Sangrur will function as its ‘branch’.

After inaugurating the hospital, the PM said that before 2014, there were less than 400 medical colleges in the past 70 years.
