Diagnostics

Such speedy and at times abrupt growth has invariably put pressures on the city's existing resources, especially the health facilities. Although equipped with some of the most modern referral and teaching hospitals, there long remained a dire need of a well-equipped diagnostic center, befitting to a capital city that could cater to the growing demands of the city residents and especially the dwellers of the adjoining areas.

Cancer Centre

Cancer is the name given to a collection of related diseases. In all types of cancer, some of the body's cells begin to divide without stopping and spread into surrounding tissues.
Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. Normally, human cells grow and divide to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.
When cancer develops, however, this orderly process breaks down. As cells become more and more abnormal, old or damaged cells survive when they should die, and new cells form when they are not needed. These extra cells can divide without stopping and may form growths called tumors.
