A historic milestone for India’s journey in nuclear medicine and cancer care

New Delhi: At the National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER), Bhubaneswar, the Ground-Breaking Ceremony was held for three transformative facilities:

• Medical Cyclotron

• Nuclear Medicine Hospital

• Centre for Medical & Radiation Physics

The event was graced by Dr. Ajit K. Mohanty, Chairman, Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and Secretary, Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) — marking a new dawn where nuclear science meets human health. 

Why This Moment Matters:

• The Medical Cyclotron will enable production of vital radioisotopes for early and accurate cancer diagnostics.

• The Nuclear Medicine Hospital will translate atomic research into healing touch, serving patients across the region.

• The Centre for Medical & Radiation Physics will nurture India’s next generation of medical physicists and radiological innovators.

• Together, these initiatives put India at the forefront of nuclear medicine research, making advanced cancer diagnostics and therapy more accessible, indigenous, and affordable.

In Essence:
“From splitting atoms to saving lives — this is the true power of science in service of humanity.”
A proud day for every scientist, doctor, engineer, and student who believes that nuclear science isn’t just about energy — it’s about empathy, excellence, and empowerment.
