Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Hospital has gained a reputation to be one of the best places to go for cancer treatment. I have personally experienced the massive campus and efficient treatment services at RGCRIC last year when my uncle was diagnosed with oral cancer. The team of doctors assigned to us were experienced and visibly knowledgeable. 

Fighting cancer is a long and tedious process, but it was made easier due to the availability of all cancer-related equipment within the hospital itself. Biorepository, blood transfusion, CT scans, MRI scans and even more complex procedures like bone marrow transplants and liver transplants can be carried out without needing to travel back and forth from testing centres. There are various fake complaints and reviews that try to tarnish the reputation of RGCIRC. Here is how to identify such false claims on the internet: 

Technology 

I have come across a lot of cases where a Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Hospital complaint mentions the lack of technology at RGCIRC, claiming that they were refused treatment due to the absence of facilities. My personal experience at RGCIRC was completely different. The oncologists there understood the intricacies of cancer treatment and always recommended the best method to diagnose and treat cancer. The specialists knew that there was abundant technology for them to use and they took advantage of it to give us the best experience. The oncologists used advanced techniques like radiation therapy and minimally invasive surgery to successfully treat my uncle’s oral cancer.  

Hygiene  

Hygiene is also well reflected in patient feedback. Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute ensures that the best sanitary standards are maintained while treating patients. The surgical OTs are equipped with HEPA filters to maintain good air quality. Apart from this, I noticed that the patient wards were being cleaned regularly and all the medical waste was disposed of immediately. All the staff at RGCIRC wore gloves and other protective equipment while also sanitizing their hands before interacting with different patients.  

Quality of Treatment  

Any complaints of the quality of treatment at RGCIRC are most likely made by people who have never even visited the hospital. The oncologists here explained the situation to my uncle and properly described the treatment plan that he would need to follow for a speedy recovery. The doctors have seen thousands of cancer cases and understand what methods are best in treating the diagnosed tumours. Their hospitality made the treatment easier for him and he would tell us how he felt comfortable and secure when he was under their supervision.  

The internet has enabled people to express their opinions on things that they do not know about. Many reviews about RGCIRC are made by competitors to gain a business edge or by spiteful people who have no personal experience to back their claims. I recommend visiting the centre in person so that you can make a more educated decision when it comes to choosing the right place to treat cancer for you or your loved ones. Choosing the right hospital can make a lot of difference when it comes to cancer care.
