Cheap Cancer Hospitals in India
According to the latest predictions by World Health Organization (WHO) – number of people succumbing to the deadly cancer will reach the figure of 7 Lakh by the year 2015. The major reason for cancer deaths in India is the high treatment cost and poor/inferior quality of facilities/equipments available in nearly 40% of cancer centers in India. So best solution to avoid expensive treatments is early detection and adopting preventive measures and lifestyle changes. But for the people having no alternative than to take medical services, there are many cheap cancer hospitals in India which offer very high quality medical care services.

Cancer Healer Center is also one of very well known hospital. The best part is it treats cancer patients with painless cancer therapy and treatment has no side effects.

The information provided here is useful . But I wonder, why in this electronic age some institutions/experts are reluctant to give medical advice/ expert opinion over phone/mail based on the clinical observation/ test reports. It is not possible for all patients to travel long or may be in a critical condition.he discussion may be helpful to soothe the patient/family members.
