This hospital will meet the growing need for a center for cancer treatment, trauma care, and cardiac treatment. Incidence of cancer in India is increasing due to increased life expectancy, and there are very few treatment centers in State of Punjab for cancer treatment. Therefore, the need was felt to develop two hospitals at Mohali and Bhatinda to provide advanced facilities in cancer care for people in Punjab and neighboring states i.e. Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan. Due to the high incidence of traffic accidents accident victims, there is a need for a trauma care facility in Mohali.
