Patients visiting the State-run Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology Cancer Research and Training Centre can now avail world class facilities for advanced cancer care, including a 14-bed paediatric ICU. Chief Minister Basvaraj Bommai on Monday inaugurated the ICU and a slew of other facilities including a multi-disciplinary Infosys Out-Patient Department (OPD) block, a bone marrow transplant block, a PET scan block and Department of Nuclear Medicine apart from a 200-bed day care ward for chemotherapy, a 100-bed step down ICU among other infrastructure projects. Kidwai director C. Ramachandra said the paediatric ICU is a boon to children with cancers of the blood, brain, lymphoma, solid tumours in the liver, kidney or pancreas, bones and soft tissue. “We see over 800 new paediatric cases and 20,000 follow up paediatric cases a year and over 90% of them cannot afford treatment in the private sector. This 14-bed ICU has been established with donation from Muhammed Majeed from Sami Labs and Sanjay Nagar Lions Trust,” he said.
