  "account": "The Telangana government has registered 35,000 cancer cases on the dedicated cancer portal, according to Dr. Nori Dattatreyudu, the advisor on preventive, curative and affordable cancer care. The government has expanded cancer treatment services to all 33 districts, with day-care cancer centres providing chemotherapy locally to avoid patients traveling to Hyderabad. The Minister emphasized the need to declare cancer a notifiable disease and effectively use the cancer registry to monitor and control the disease. Dr. Nori also highlighted the success of the HPV vaccination program, which has achieved 67% coverage among eligible girls in the State. Officials briefed the Minister on cancer treatment facilities at the MNJ Cancer Hospital and NIZAM’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), as well as the functioning of day-care chemotherapy centres across the State. The Minister directed officials to improve district-level chemotherapy facilities and ensure their availability closer to patients' homes.",
