In a significant step to bolster healthcare infrastructure across Jammu and Kashmir, the government has initiated the process of procuring Linear Accelerator (LINAC), a State-of-the-Art medical equipment for cancer treatment for Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS), Soura.

Linear accelerator (LINAC) is a sophisticated device, having integrated CT Scanner or an integrated MRI for image guidance, generates high-energy X-rays and Electron Beams, which can precisely destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues.

LINAC is a cornerstone in cancer treatment and fundamental to obtain the highest rates of cancer cure in majority of cancer patients.

Speaking on this significant development, Minister for Health and Medical Education, Social Welfare and Education, Sakeena Itoo underlined that the government led by the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is committed to provide advanced healthcare services to the people of Jammu and Kashmir. “Health sector is priority sector for Government and we are determined to provide world class medical facilities to people here”, Sakeena said. “This measures has been taken in that direction and is one among many efforts government has initiated for enhancing cancer treatment facilities across J&K”.

The Minister highlighted that Government’s initiative to procure LINAC is expected to significantly improve cancer treatment outcomes in Jammu and Kashmir. Sakeena Itoo added that patients, especially belonging to economically weaker sections, will no longer need to travel outside for advanced cancer treatment after establishment of this facility in SKIMS.

The Minister also said that this facility will also reduce financial burden on families going through tough times during treatment phase of their patients.

Pertinently, LINAC will be procured by SKIMS for State Cancer Institute, under the NPCDCS scheme through JKMSCL for an estimated cost of Rs. 29 Crs.
