Delhi's top cancer hospital faces equipment crisis, patients forced to pay for private tests

The Delhi State Cancer Institute (DSCI), the city government's primary cancer facility, is struggling with idle equipment. Patients are frequently directed to external facilities for necessary scans, tests, and medications, resulting in out-of-pocket expenses. A portion of the facility that previously served as a day-care chemotherapy ward is currently in a state of disrepair. Furthermore, reports indicate that over 40% of the 814 sanctioned staff positions at the institute remain unfilled.
