Civic body plans to raise health allocation

Corporator Babu Nair alleged that the civic body showed little interest in making advanced facilities available to patients. “A proposal had come up for Cyberknife, the world’s first non-invasive whole-body, robotic radiosurgery system invented by John Adler, but the PCMC showed no interest.”

However, Sharma said the civic body is looking at the possibility of purchasing Cyberknife machine. “Since it is a costly machine, we are looking at private participation.”
