Truly a momentous occasion as we cemented and formalized a long-standing partnership in cancer care between the #AFMS @dgafms_mod and @TataMemorialCtr @TataMemorial @CancerGridIndia
The Armed Forces motto of "Service Before Self" is our powerful underlying philosophy.
In a significant step towards strengthening cancer research, education and patient care, #AFMS signed MoU with Tata Memorial Centre on 13 Aug 2026. This MoU was signed by Surg V Adm Arti Sarin, #DGAFMS and Dr C S Pramesh, Director, Tata Memorial Hospital. This collaboration will foster joint research, specialized training, knowledge exchange and capacity building in the field of cancer care, working towards better outcomes for patients and advancing oncology practice.

I will be speaking at #WCLC26 in Seoul on "Addressing Access Inequities: How AI and Advocacy Can Help Bridge Gaps in Lung Cancer Care."
I look forward to bringing the perspective of patients & their families from #India & other #LMICs, and discussing how innovation and lived experience can help advance more #equitable #LungCancer care worldwide.

The map says it all.
Impressive progress from Prof @cspramesh and India’s National Cancer Grid tackling disparities in cancer care through networks, training, local research priorities and scalable funding.
This is what system-level cancer innovation looks like.

Food for thought at #ASCOBOT26 — can we afford the consequences of inequity?
Dr @cspramesh asking hard questions about what truly constitutes medical progress. If we can just elevate care in lower-resourced countries, think of the progress that can be made. @DrRoselleDG @anmwongNZ @DrMLChua @ASCO

This is huge, for many reasons
1. This is metastatic pancreatic cancer, one of the most fatal diseases, and one for which we've despaired for a breakthrough (1/3)

2. It is KRAS, one of the most difficult mutations to target. This could just be the beginning of using these drugs in many other cancers, not just pancreatic (2/3)

It is not often you see separation of survival curves like this. Truly a game changer, and a genuine breakthrough. Deserves the standing ovation that this plenary received #ASCO2026 (3/3)

This will be a mutually beneficial partnership where we learn from each other and push the frontiers of cancer research. @TataMemorial @CancerGridIndia @IITKanpur @Sandeep_1966 @abandopa
IIT Kanpur has signed an MoU with Tata Memorial Hospital (@TataMemorial), a unit of Tata Memorial Centre (@TataMemorialCtr), Mumbai, one of the world’s leading cancer care and research institutions, to guide the establishment of Oncology Hospital at @IITKMedSchool.
This collaboration will leverage TMH’s expertise in cancer care, research, training, and hospital planning to help shape a future-ready oncology ecosystem @IITKanpur, advancing accessible high-quality cancer care, medical education, and MedTech innovation in Uttar Pradesh.

Maybe this is exactly what we don't want. @mythicbxrn and @iamsrk this is what you should not promote. This increases cancer incidence

A heartfelt thanks to my dear friend @cspramesh of @TataMemorial who took the time to share his insights with us on @oncodaily podcast #EMPOWERING Oncologists,
This episode includes:-
✅quality care without inclusion of other sites is not truly “quality” care- bigger organizations must include smaller low resource sites and settings in care delivery - we particularly discuss “pool procurement” of drugs to achieve discounted pricing
✅how “leadership training” is critical for training professionals - mentorship includes leadership- communication- career advancement
✅how low resource settings are getting creative in providing travel education closer to the sites- #TravelEducation
Thanks Pramesh for your time, and @oncodaily for this platform. Low resource settings don’t just exist in LMICs, every country has some low resource settings and we can apply the above insights globally.
It has been a true privilege to continue to learn from global leaders!

In this episode of Empowering Oncology at Scale: Transforming Cancer Care in India Through Innovation and Collaboration, hosted by Dr. Jasmine Kamboj (@JasmineKambojMD) , MD, FASCO, featuring Dr. CS Pramesh, (@cspramesh) Director of Tata Memorial Hospital and Convener of the National Cancer Grid (NCG) of India, is presented a compelling vision for improving cancer care accessibility, affordability, and quality across a country facing one of the highest cancer burdens globally.
This conversation dives into how the National Cancer Grid is reshaping oncology in India through data-driven strategies, resource-stratified guidelines, and nationwide collaboration across 400+ institutions.
Dr. Pramesh discusses groundbreaking initiatives such as pooled drug procurement leading to up to 99% cost reductions, innovative workforce solutions like task-shifting and traveling education programs, and the integration of research, mentorship, and leadership training.
The episode also explores India’s largest public health insurance scheme, Ayushman Bharat, and its impact on cancer care accessibility, as well as the urgent need to expand palliative care services.
