Cobalt unit of the cancer department, Gmch gives light therapy to cancer patients. Till two years back this department used to give light therapy to about 70 to 80 patients every day. But now because of the lack of technicians availability the number has gone down considerably. The waiting list for the treatment has increased very much. Patients have no other options but to wait as this treatment is very costly in private hospitals which they cannot afford.
All the assurances and promises by the Ministers remain unfulfilled as the patients suffer and wait due to the step motherly treatment vented to Vidarbha.
