Chennai: Apollo Proton Cancer Centre (APCC) has announced its accreditation by Joint Commission International (JCI), a recognised global leader in health care accreditation.
This makes APCC, India’s first dedicated advanced cancer centre to receive this international accreditation, and the eighth hospital in the Apollo Hospitals Group to join the portfolio of JCI accredited hospitals.
Dr Prathap C Reddy, chairman, Apollo Hospitals said, “More than 25 years ago, we noted the growing prevalence of cancer in India, the lack of oncology centres in the country and this was the genesis of Apollo embarking on advanced cancer care. From the very beginning, we brought in the most advanced technologies in cancer care and even the recent launch of South Asia and the Middle East’s first Proton Therapy at Apollo Proton Cancer Centre, reiterates our commitment to investing in the best available care for our patients.”
