India's first neuro-oncology rehabilitation centre has officially opened in Mumbai, providing specialised care for patients with brain and spinal tumours. The 'Amrit Sparsh' Neuro-Oncology Rehabilitation Centre, a joint effort between the Indian Cancer Society and Tata Memorial Hospital, aims to assist around 2,000 patients per year in regaining independence and returning to normal daily life.
The facility offers a comprehensive multidisciplinary programme, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, and activities of daily living training. Advanced virtual sensory environments and a dedicated cognitive laboratory will address complex neurological challenges. Rehabilitation services will be free for underprivileged patients and heavily subsidised for others.
The initiative is particularly significant for the estimated 75-80% of brain tumour cases that occur in adults, where returning to normal life can present major challenges post-treatment.
