Our Conviction

First and only NABH Accredited

Cancer Hospital in India Since 2008.

A group of concerned relatives and friends of cancer patients felt the need to provide complete cancer treatment under one roof. They felt it was their "Dharma" (duty) to provide to cancer patients what was not available to their near and dear ones, when they were suffering from cancer. They laid the "Shila" (foundation) of their duty by registering a non-government voluntary organization Dharamshila Cancer Foundation And Research Centre (DCFRC) on 19 April, 1990,
