An excellently designed facility with attention paid to every department, and dedicated staff comprising a mix of experienced seniors & energetic juniors have made it possible to achieve the rapid success.

The best news that I can give to you is that the HNCII has been able to attract the very best medical faculty in all the sub specialities of oncology, be it onco pathology, medical, surgical & radiation oncology, imaging & laboratory medicine. These are specialists who have chosen to work full-time at the Institute & give their undivided attention to service, training & research. And in most departments the talent runs atleast two or even three levels deep. They will undoubtedly shape the destiny of the HNCII.

If there is one defining expression that I would like HNCII to stand for, it is "touching lives with compassion".

The Institute deals with cancer Patients & their families enter the hospital premises in a state of tremendous anxiety & mental devastation. At every step & stage they encounter the hospital personnel, there is opportunity to ease their tension & worry by guiding them with kindness & reassuring words. The support staff, admin staff, the nurses, technicians & doctors, all can play a very vital role in this. So, this is my humble appeal to all members of the HNCII family: let us make "compassion" a part of our persona, so that it comes to us naturally, & becomes the organisation’s culture.
