Besides, the hospital will also have to keep in mind that the best treatment for cancer patients can be done at reasonable cost.

The Governor said that the spirit of service and universal brotherhood has been inherent in our country since ancient times and centuries.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi encouraged scientists during the Corona pandemic and our scientists succeeded in developing the Corona vaccine.

On the initiative of the Prime Minister, free vaccine was available not only to the people of our country but also to the people outside the country.

We have to work in various fields of medicine in the spirit of compassion, service and brotherhood.

We all should work in the same spirit with which Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai has set an example in the medical world.

The Governor said that it is necessary to have awareness and education among the people for health and medicine.

He said that it is necessary to spread awareness regarding health insurance, so that people do not face difficulty in getting treatment on time.

He said that there should be such a system in every hospital so that people can get information about health insurance there also

Jharkhand Health Minister Banna Gupta who was special guest during Medica Cancer Conclave said that doctors who write medicine to the patients in their Prescription used to provide medicines at an affordable cost in which poor patients can be comfortable in subscribing to those medicines.

Banna Gupta said, we have all cooperation with doctors and RIMS Hospital is doing a good job in this segment.

Gupta added we are now providing 30 % time to doctors in a year to do research work and come out with the optimum solution of disease.

Those doctors who will submit a Research Paper can only be promoted.

Additional Chief Secretary Arun Kumar Singh highlighted that we are appealing and making a policy for farmers to not to use pesticide, Fertilisers and other medicines in an agricultural field.

Arun Kumar Singh emphasised on Organic Farming instead of use of fertilisers and pesticides.

Cancer Specialist and Oncologist Dr. Pankaj Chautrvedi who is contributing his service to Tata Cancer Hospital in Mumbai said it is human and painful to see the patients who come from remote areas of the country.

It is very difficult for them to cope up with the expenses of Cancer Treatment.

Often relatives of Cancer Patients spend their stay in Footpath. 

It is very painful and human for us.
