Congratulations on scaling new heights, Dr Priti!
We are pleased to announce that our very own Dr Priti Sanghavi, has been appointed as the Deputy Director of the Gujarat Cancer and Research Institute (GCRI), Ahmedabad.
On this occasion, Dr Priti shared “I want to thank GOD for giving me the opportunity to serve the institute and contribute towards its growth. Despite India’s increased palliative care services, services still remain concentrated in urban areas. My new role as Deputy Director of GCRI, will allow me to educate doctors, administrators and other policy makers about the dire need of provisioning palliative care services to one and all. I also plan to increase the community’s awareness about palliative care, actively implement the NPPC, collaborate with other regional cancer centers for the smooth provisioning of Palliative care and further the agenda of IAPC”.
GCRI, an academic institution, is a comprehensive State Cancer Center and also one of the country’s largest cancer care center with modern facilities for diagnosis and treatment. The Center is jointly managed by the State, the Central Government and the Gujarat Cancer Society.
Hearty congratulations, Dr. Priti Sanghavi!
