With a focus on capacity building and skill enhancement, Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai on Monday launched a specialised cancer care training programme for BIMSTEC (Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation) nations.

As part of the initiative, 21 participants from four member countries will undergo training across three key modules: Radiation Oncology, Nuclear Medicine, and Radiology, reported news agency PTI. 

Speaking at the launch event, CSR Ram, Joint Secretary for BIMSTEC and SAARC at the Ministry of External Affairs, said the programme will not only strengthen cancer care capabilities in the region but also foster long-term collaboration and research among BIMSTEC countries.
