About This Cause
The Karnatak Cancer Therapy & Research Institute (KCTRI) Since cancer patients from North Karnataka had to travel either to Bombay or madras for treatment in those days, many of them avoided therapy due to Social taboo, distance, cost, accommodation and language issues. Keeping this in mind, Dr. R.B. Patil wanted to make the cancer treatment acceptable, accessible and affordable. With this intent, cancer hospital was planned in Navanagar, Hubbali and foundation stone was laid by then Chief minister of Karnataka Shree Devaraj Urs. Karnatak Cancer Therapy and Research Institute Hubballi- comprehensive cancer care center was established in 1977 and was inaugurated by then-Vice -President of India Shree B.D Jatti.
