Who we are

The Indian Railway Cancer Institute and Research Centre (IRCIRC) was established by the North Eastern Railway (NER) to provide cancer care services to their employees and their families. In 2017, NER on behalf of Indian Railways, Government of India entered into a MoU with Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai on behalf of Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India, for the upgradation of cancer care services and facilities at IRCIRC.

An accelerated process of renovation, extension and induction of new equipment was carried out to make a swift and effective transition. Within a span of 6 months the new edifice of the Centre was ready. The project has been supported by the philanthropic gesture of Tata Trusts and implemented by the Cancer Care Programme team of the Trusts. The upgraded centre has been christened as Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital, Varanasi (HBCH) and is managed by Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai on behalf of Department of Atomic Energy (DAE).
