A not-for-profit cancer hospital in Hyderabad, opened in 2000 in memory of N. T. Rama Rao's wife, with more than 500 beds and a full range of radiotherapy.
N. T. Rama Rao, former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, lost his wife Basavatarakam to cancer and set up the Nandamuri Basavataraka Ramarao Memorial Cancer Foundation in her memory. With the Indo American Cancer Organization in the US, the foundation established Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital & Research Institute in Hyderabad, which was inaugurated on 22 June 2000.
The hospital is run on a not-for-profit basis by a board drawn from both trusts and has grown to more than 500 beds. Its pages describe six linear accelerators plus Tomotherapy, Versa HD, brachytherapy and intraoperative radiotherapy, PET-CT with an on-site cyclotron, multidisciplinary tumour boards and medical oncology for children and adults; its radiation oncology department began in 2000 with scientific support from Weill Cornell and Presbyterian Hospital, New York.
