Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda on Saturday (February 15, 2025) inaugurated the second AIIMS Oncology Conclave 2025 at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of AIIMS, Jhajjar, in Haryana.
The Jhajjar institute is one of the largest public-funded healthcare projects in India, dedicated to providing innovative cancer care and research capabilities.
The two-day oncology conclave aims to bring together leading experts in oncology from across all the institutes of national importance (INIs) of India, to discuss advancements in cancer care, treatment methodologies, and the ongoing research initiatives. With a focus on breast cancers as well as head and neck cancers, the conclave emphasised collaborative efforts in prevention and management of such cancers.
The Minister appreciated the innovation at the institute and said the centre was collaborating with start-ups, engaging Ph. D. students and involving scientists in research that would have real-world applications, not just for the market, but for society.
