this great Institute and hope that the publication

will benefit the patients and the public”.

DAMKINI 41 years Mizoram

“GNRC refers us to Dr B Borooah Cancer

Institute. We feel very comfort here. The

cooperative attitude of the hospital personnel is

very fine. Everything is moderate except water.

Water is little bit dirty”.

IMSENVOKBA 37 years Dimapur, Nagaland

“Dimapur Civil hospital referred us here.

Our conception has changed when we arrived here.

Hospital facilities are good. I like all the doctors,

nurses and all the concerned persons and their

responsibilities should be praised”.

Barkesh Kumar 35 Years Patna, Bihar

“I was in very severe condition when I was

admitted in this hospital. Now, my health is

improving. I am highly satisfied with the services

of the doctors and all the hospital personnel”.

Bishu Natag 42 years Arunachal Pradesh

“I was in Vellore for two months. The

process of that hospital is very lengthy. So I came

back to BBCI. Here, everything I found

satisfactory specially the doctors. I take radiation

and now feel healthier”.

Gorvashis Maobong 39 years Shillong Meghalaya

“I feel very good here. It seems like a star

hotel not hospital. Everything is beautiful. The

The Rising Sun of East

There is more to North East India than virgin wildness, violence and poverty and

Dr. Bhubaneswar Borooah Cancer Institute Proves just the same, explores Micky Neelam Kachhap.

“Spread over an

area of 14.1 acre,

this premium

institute is the only

dedicated centre in

North Eastern

India offering

Multi-disciplinary

cancer treatment

comparable to any

other cancer centre

of the country.”

NB : The above article was published in Modern Medicare, Vol-4, No. 3, February 2008

Dr. Bhubaneswar Borooah Cancer Institute (BBCI) is a symbol of

hope for the people of

North East India. The

Guwahati-based institute

stands tall in the land of

hostilities and

catastrophes, serving its

people and providing the

much desired care and

support required by a

cancer patient. The effort

is commendable because

the region is not

economically developed

and poor connectivity

and physical barriers of

distance compound the

problem. Further, it is

alarming to note that a

large per cent of the

population in the region

is affected by cancer,

Recently, the WHO

sponsored National

Cancer Registry

Programme pointed out

that the minimum age

adjusted incidence rate of cancer in this region is

significantly higher. Consequently, the role of

BBCI as a Regional Center for Cancer Treatment

and Research has gained immense importance, as it

is the only dedicated centre offering multi-focal

therapy options for cancer.

Battling a long and difficult past, the institute has

been able to keep up with the changing and

challenging times of cancer treatment. Today, it

boasts of all the modern diagnostic facilities, state-

of-the-art equipment, well-equipped OTs and wards

and a versatile staff. Further, the recent wave of

new facilities at BBCI such as telemedicine and

stem cell research has propelled the institute to

seek the top slot among cancer institutes in the

country. BBCI has reinvented itself, improving and

adding on to its infrastructure, to accommodate the

increasing number of cancer patients in the region.

BBCI is scaling new heights with its presence in

international Union Against Cancer (UICC), a

Geneva membership, which brings the expertise of

the largest independent, non-profit NGO to this

region. Recently, the institute also got a Centre of

Excellence grant of Rs. 5 crore from the Ministry of

Health & Family welfare, Government of India for

infrastructure development. This will further

strengthen BBCI’s presence in the domain of

cancer treatment.

“The institute

lays emphasis on

increasing public

awareness and

detection of

cancer at early

stage along with

pain and

palliative care

services to

terminally ill

patients”.

For the most part, the institute draws its funds from

the department of Atomic Energy, Government of

Prevention and Awareness.

BBCI, in addition to patient treatment, lays

emphasis on prevention and early detection of

cancer through public awareness. A department of

Nagaland, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh and other

North Eastern states, NGOs like Deepsikha,

Suratirtha, Eastern India Women’s Association and

may others have joined hands with BBCI to cater to

different causes related to cancer.

Research and Training

There are ongoing research projects on cancer and

many of these are supported by ICMR and WHO in

addition to population Based caner registry. In fact,

research projects are done in collaboration with the

Biochemistry Department of North Eastern Hill

University, Shillong and Cancer Foundation of

India, Kolkata. Incidentally, the results of some

works have been published in International

Journals.

Recently, the Ministry of Development of North

Eastern Region (NONER) Government of India,

sanctioned a Capacity Development Project for

community based cancer prevention and curly

detection programe and capacity development of

technical staff of the institute. This programme will

help develop the skills of health personnel at

various levels to effectively deal with the

prevention and control of cancer.

Various teaching and training programmes have

also been started lately. A three-month certificate

course for doctors and paramedical staff has been

started from November last. This year, a two-year

postgraduate diploma in radiotherapy technology

has also been introduced in addition to the diploma

programme in laboratory technology and certificate

courses for doctors and paramedical staff in various

disciplines.

DNB students form Down Town Hospital, GNRC

Hospital and Railway Hospital are also posted at

BBCI for short-term training programmes held

regularly. Full-time postgraduate students from the

ENT and radiology Department of Guwahati

Medical College are also posted for various

courses. Numerous workshops, seminars,

conferences are organized regularly at the institute.

In addition, the medical staff from BBCI regularly

participates in a range of national and international

conferences.

Other facilities

BBCI has a telemedicine facility through which

complicated patients are consulted with Tata

Memorial Hospital, Mumbai and other institutes in

the country. This unit is also connected to the

respective telemedicine units in Jorhart Civil

Hospital, RIMS Imphal, Naharlogun Hospital,

Itanagar Civil Hospital and MoKoKchung Hospital

in Nagaland.

Recently, a Dharamshala called Jironi Ghar was

inaugurated at the institute premises. According to

the administration, a large number of cancer

patients come to Guwahati for treatment every

month. Apart from spending on treatment, the

patients along with their relatives have to shell out a

lot of money on accommodation at hotels, lodges

and rented houses. The purpose of constructing the

Jironi Ghar was to enable even the poor patients to

come to the city and stay comfortable for

treatments. The Jironi Ghar charges a nominal fee

from patients and provides both accommodation

and food.

For terminally ill cancer patients, there is a pain and

palliative care clinic in collaboration with Guwahati

Pain and Palliative Care society. Moreover, clinical

psychologists and social investigators provide

necessary counseling at this centre. For

which has proved to be very useful for the patients

here. Also, various activities like sight seeing

programmes, musical programmes, meditation and

yoga courses, community prayer programmes,

indoor games and library facilities and provided for

the patients to help them feel lively. Patients are

encouraged to get involved in tree plantation,

gardening, etc., to keep them close to nature and

beautify the place.

For the Staff

There is availability of a physical fitness training

centre and a separate library for the non-medical

staff of the hospital. Additionally, Shrity, a wall

magazine is published by the employees. At BBCI,

hospital services appraisal system has been re-

regulated with effect from 2006. In this system, all

patients are directed to report to the social

investigator at the time of discharge, who hands out

an appraisal form, which patients are supposed to

fill and list their experiences while at the hospital.

BBCI on its part is taking its role seriously, as is

evident from the dedicated and untiring efforts of

the employees of the institute. In the last couple of

years, the flow of patients in the hospital has

increased and annual revenue has gone up

significantly. Further, the administration has been

streamlined and the services are made more patient

friendly.

BBCI has come a long way from being just a cancer

institute to being a centre of excellence. There are

plans for the development and upgradation of the

institute, foremost being establishing it as a tertiary

care centre for cancer treatment. The benefits of

such developments will surely be translated into

better patient care and survival rate.
