If you have to find the best hospital for cancer care your first and last choice will be Marengo CIMS Hospital in Ahmedabad.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of deaths in India. About three million patients suffer from this disease, with a million new cases being reported every year. The disease is expected to rise five-fold by 2025. However the field of Oncology i.e. the specialty which treats cancer patients is neither developed completely nor uniformly in view of geographic distribution of cancer burden in India. The cancer centers are mostly limited to Tier-1 cities & are now slowly developing across Tier – 2 cities. Rural India still has to rely on regional cancer centers & the government hospitals; where the infrastructure is limited and where it is made available, the expert specialists are not available. There are always skewed doctor – patient ratio because of which quality of care is compromised. 

To meet the need of the hour, Marengo CIMS Hospital in Ahmedabad has come up with MARENGO CIMS CANCER CENTER HOSPITAL a comprehensive and perhaps India’s best cancer care facility equipped with state of the art facilities under one roof and with a vision to provide world class quality care to patients of western India.

One of the three pillars in the treatment of cancer is Radiotherapy. Radiotherapy involves the use of ionizing radiation in an attempt to either cure or improve the symptoms of cancer. With the dream of providing world class treatment facility to our patients, the Marengo CIMS Cancer Center has procured one of the best linear Accelerator to treat patients with external radiation therapy.

The screening programs & risk assessment tools are an integral part of the Marengo CIMS Hospital CANCER CARE.

Ancillary Support


Today, CANCER is not an ugly word anymore. Cancer is treatable if detected early. However, a patient on hearing the word cancer undergoes a great deal of emotional stress and pressure. To counteract the negative mental impact, Marengo CIMS Hospital offers a wide array of services to help you heal and deal with your treatment positively.

Meditation & Yoga : Meditation is soothing and helps relax the body and calm the mind and is known to be a great healer in dealing with ongoing cancer treatment. While it’s not a cure for cancer, yoga enhances physical and emotional wellness—and brings peace to the mind. At Marengo CIMs Hospital, we provide free meditation & yoga sessions by a certified instructor, once every week.

Art Therapy : Art therapy is used to help people manage physical and emotional problems by using creative activities to express their emotions. It provides a way for people to come to terms with emotional conflicts, increase self-awareness, and express unspoken and often subconscious concerns about their illness and their lives. Marengo CIMS Hospital offers free art therapy sessions to patients to deal with their stress.

Music Therapy : Many people find listening to music relaxing, soothing, and enjoyable. For cancer patients, it also can be a way to cope with some of the symptoms of their disease and side effects of their treatment. New research supports listening to recorded music, as well as music therapy, to improve anxiety, pain, mood, quality of life, heart rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure in cancer patients. We provide certified music therapist upon request.

Nutritional Counseling : The maintenance of good nutritional status during initial treatments for cancer is generally recommended to increase the likelihood of successful completion of prescribed therapies, and to improve quality of life during and after that phase of care. At Marengo CIMS Hospital a dedicated cancer care nutritionist helps you guide in the best possible way to attain a Healthy Lifestyle.

Medical Social Worker : Marengo CIMS Hospital Cancer Center provides a certified Medical Social Worker who provides assistance to patients as well as their families to cope with the diagnosis of cancer and all along the disease continuum teach them relaxation techniques to reduce anxiety, facilitate patient to patient support programme; help individuals improve quality of life and above all listen to the patients with compassion and empathy.

We help patients seeking stay near by the hospital by providing accommodation options & also provide free local transport facilities from home to hospital while patient is on Radiation treatment.

Patient Recreation : Along with comfortable ambiance, we provide recreational facilities such as Mini Library, Indoor games, Child Play Toys, I-pads & DVD with Screens and Massage Chairs
