The Medicity, Gurgaon, ranked as India’s Best Private Hospital by Newsweek for six consecutive years, has taken a major step toward making advanced cancer care more accessible for consumers in the Northeast. At an awareness event in Dimapur on September 16, organized with NGO Beyond Cancer and Christian Institute of Health Sciences and Research (CIHSR), Medanta doctors showcased how artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics are being used to personalize cancer treatment.
Dr. Amit Bhargava, Director of Medical Oncology at Medanta, explained that AI-driven platforms can predict treatment responses and design therapies tailored to a patient’s tumour DNA. He stressed that early detection is crucial in improving survival rates, particularly in the Northeast, which has the country’s highest cancer incidence. After the event, Medanta doctors held OPDs in Dimapur, offering direct specialist consultations and diagnostic services.
Already a key healthcare hub, the availability of advanced oncology services through Medanta’s outreach is expected to attract patients from surrounding districts, boosting both convenience and affordability for families seeking timely treatment. The initiative also includes Medanta’s MoU with the Nagaland Government under the Chief Minister’s Health Insurance Scheme (CMHIS), a new Northeast helpline (0124-6930090), and the release of a health awareness booklet with IDAN, endorsed by Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio.
