Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute
Who We are
The Hazra Campus of CNCI in the heart of the city of Kolkata, often referred to as the first campus of CNCI, has been a cornerstone in the fight against cancer in India. Established in 1950, CNCI was one of the earliest cancer treatment facilities in the country, and the Hazra Campus has been central to its mission. Named after the renowned Indian freedom fighter and philanthropist, Chittaranjan Das, the institute was set up to honor his memory and continue his legacy of social welfare. Over the decades, the Hazra Campus has evolved from a modest beginning into a comprehensive cancer treatment and research facility.
It is a 210 bedded facility offering a wide range of clinical services, making it a crucial hub for cancer treatment in the region. The departments at this campus include Surgical Oncology, Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, and Radiodiagnosis, among others. These departments work in tandem to provide multidisciplinary care to cancer patients, ensuring that they receive the best possible treatment.
As CNCI expands and evolves, the Hazra Campus remains at the heart of its mission to provide affordable, high-quality cancer care and to advance the understanding and treatment of this devastating disease.
