CSR Initiative supports Advanced Radiotherapy Unit at Ramakrishna Charitable Hospital in Vrindavan

HDFC Asset Management Company Limited (HDFC AMC), Investment Manager to HDFC Mutual Fund (HDFC MF), one of India’s leading mutual fund houses, has supported the establishment of a Radiotherapy Unit in the new Oncology Block at Ramakrishna Charitable Hospital, Vrindavan as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, strengthening access to advanced cancer treatment for patients across North India. The new Oncology Block was inaugurated today by the Hon’ble President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu, marking a significant milestone in expanding access to advanced cancer care. 

HDFC AMC has supported the procurement and installation of advanced radiotherapy equipment, enabling high-precision radiation therapy that targets cancer cells while minimising damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The facility is expected to benefit patients primarily from Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and Rajasthan, providing access to specialised cancer treatment for those who may otherwise face challenges due to cost or limited availability of advanced healthcare infrastructure. 

Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Navneet Munot, Managing Director & CEO, HDFC Asset Management Company, said “Access to quality healthcare is fundamental to advancing inclusive development in India. We are honoured to support the creation of advanced radiotherapy infrastructure at Ramakrishna Charitable Hospital, Vrindavan. At HDFC AMC, we believe institutions must play a meaningful role in nation-building by serving communities with care and responsibility. This initiative reflects our continued commitment to strengthening cancer care and helping reduce the financial and emotional burden on families. We are also deeply grateful to the Hon’ble President Smt. Droupadi Murmu for gracing the inauguration and encouraging such impactful initiatives.” 

Established in 2017, the Oncology Department at Ramakrishna Charitable Hospital has emerged as an important centre for cancer treatment, serving patients from a 400 km radius across neighbouring regions. The department offers a wide range of advanced procedures and treatments including commando surgeries, reconstructive surgeries, Whipple procedures, free flaps, wide excisions, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and hormone therapy. Since its inception, the department has provided care to over 45,000 outpatients and more than 12,000 inpatients, including fully free treatment for destitute patients in need of critical medical support.

The hospital is now expanding its capabilities through the new Oncology Block, which will house advanced facilities including two radiotherapy bunkers, a brachytherapy bunker, a CT simulator, OPD rooms, a day-care unit, tumour board facilities, nurses’ stations, conference rooms, and allied infrastructure designed to support comprehensive cancer care.

By supporting the establishment of the Radiotherapy Unit, HDFC AMC is helping strengthen critical oncology infrastructure and expand access to advanced cancer treatment for patients across North India. The initiative reflects the organisation’s continued focus on supporting healthcare infrastructure that delivers meaningful and lasting impact for communities.
