Introduction
The Department of Radiat on Oncology has been providing services since its incept on. This year the
Department has replaced the old non-funct oning machine with a new high-end LINAC. The Department also
procured a new Brachytherapy Unit and a CT Simulator. The Department has been providing with 2D & 3D
Conformal radiotherapy along with Brachytherapy. The Department has plans to start IMRT, VMAT. IGRT &
Image-Guided Brachytherapy services in near future. Radiotherapy department started EHS to overcome the
pat ent load and provide service as much as the pat ent resources( technical as well as human resources).
Considering the pat ent load we feel its high t me to double the exist ng machines and trained manpower so
we can overcome the pat ent load, provide t mely beter treatment to increase the quant ty & quality of the
