New Delhi, September 20, 2025: Alkem Foundation, the CSR arm of Alkem Laboratories Ltd., has supported the establishment of the Samprada Singh Memorial Radiotherapy Centre in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, with an investment of INR 100 crores. The state-of-the-art facility, which has the capacity to treat 3,500–4,000 cancer patients annually, is the largest in North Bihar and the second-largest in the state.
The centre, part of the recently inaugurated Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, has been developed in collaboration with Tata Memorial Centre (TMC), Mumbai. It is equipped with advanced technologies including linear accelerators (LINAC), stereotaxy, organ motion management systems, a CT simulator, and in-house brachytherapy with dedicated applicators.
“Alkem has its roots in Bihar and it is deeply meaningful for us to contribute back to the region. With cancer cases rising each year, the need for world-class facilities closer to home has never been greater. This centre will not only play a vital role in strengthening access to technologically advanced cancer treatment options but also help in easing the patient journey and supporting families, creating a holistic model of care. Our collaboration with Tata Memorial Centre reflects the shared goal of providing sustainable healthcare solutions that have a lasting impact,” said Madhurima Singh, Executive Director and Chairperson of Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability Committee, Alkem.
Dr. Kumar Prabhash, Director of the Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Muzaffarpur, added, “Our partnership with Alkem Foundation builds on years of working together in screening and palliative care. With this centre, we are able to take that collaboration further by providing complete and compassionate cancer care to patients in Bihar and neighbouring states, bridging the longstanding gap in cancer treatment in these parts of India. Our aim is to offer ethical and affordable evidence-based treatment at the hospital as well as focus on education and research.”
The centre builds on Alkem Foundation’s existing cancer care initiatives, including screening, awareness, and home-based palliative care programmes, aimed at strengthening healthcare infrastructure and bridging treatment gaps in underserved regions.
