Delhi has a population of about a crore and a half with an increase in incidence of cancer. The existing cancer treatment facilities as a part of multi-specialty hospitals were found to be inadequate to cater to an increase in the demand for the treatment of cancer. Inspired by absence of facilities for Cancer patients in the North India, the Indraprastha cancer Society, a charitable society, procured a plot of over 4 acres of Institutional land from D.D.A. and the construction of building was completed in 1996. The Institute procured the latest state-of-the-art equipment for cancer diagnosis and treatment. It was only in 1996 that the dream of having an exclusive cancer Institute in Delhi where multimodal treatment was provided under one roof with state of the art technology became a reality.
The Institute started functioning on 1st July, 1996 when a soft opening was done by Hon'ble Smt. Sonia Gandhi. The Institute was inaugurated by the then, President of India, Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, in the presence of Smt. Sonia Gandhi and other dignitaries, on 20th August 1996.
Initiated as a 152 bedded hospital, it has been growing steadily and has never looked back. Presently it is a 172 bedded hospital with an impinching need for further expansion in terms of beds and other facilities to meet the growing demand.
Since the inception, the Institute has proved its capability as a Centre of excellence and has so far treated about 56,000 patients coming from whole of North India. A large number of patients from Nepal, Bangladesh, Srilanka, and other neighboring countries are utilizing the facilities of our Institute.
The philosophy of RGCIRC is to constantly strive towards the excellence in onco-care through combination of latest technology, competent personnel and a humane touch. This is reflected by the addition of Bone Marrow transplant unit in year 2000 IMRT (Intensity modulated Radiotherapy technique) & colour-Doppler technique in year 2002. Ashram, a dharamshala has been built about 200m away from the main hospital building to cater to the lodging and boarding requirement of the relatives of the patients seeking treatment in RGCIRC from outside Delhi.
The quality of service of the Institute has been highlighted in the India Plus which states "If you want to be impressed by a 21st century cancer hospital, this is it." Hence Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute & Research Centre is a comprehensive cancer care set-up with all the facilities for diagnosis and treatment of all types of cancers available under one roof. The state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment with highly qualified and experienced faculty is the hallmark of the organization.
