BENGALURU, May 19, 2026 – HealthCare Global Enterprises Limited (HCG), India’s largest dedicated cancer hospital network, today announced the launch of its new comprehensive cancer hospital in Byatarayanapura (Hebbal). This new facility significantly strengthens access to advanced oncology care in North Bengaluru, bringing together clinical excellence, compassionate care, and state-of-the-art technology to make world-class cancer treatment more accessible across Karnataka.
Marking a major advancement in precision medicine, the new 132-bed hospital introduces Karnataka’s first Elekta Unity MR-Linac, one of the world’s most advanced radiation therapy platforms.

The facility was officially inaugurated by renowned Sandalwood actor and director, Abhinaya Chakravarthy Baadashah Kichcha Sudeep, who emphasized the community impact of the center:
“Cancer is a journey that affects not just the patient, but the entire family. What makes a real difference is timely diagnosis, awareness, and access to the right treatment at the right time. HCG’s new Hebbal facility is a powerful step in that direction, bringing advanced technology and expert care closer to people.”
Speaking at the launch, Dr. B. S. Ajaikumar, Founder & Chairman of HCG, highlighted the evolving landscape of oncology:
“Cancer care today has become increasingly data-driven, technology-oriented, and focused on improving long-term outcomes. Our goal is not only to prevent recurrences, but also to make even advanced and metastatic cancers manageable through personalized, multidisciplinary care. The launch of our Hebbal center is another important milestone in HCG’s pursuit of excellence, reinforcing our commitment to providing the right treatment the first time to achieve the best outcomes.”
Dr. Manish Mattoo, Executive Director & CEO of HCG, added “HCG Hebbal reflects our 35-year legacy of ‘adding life to years.’ With the MR-Linac, we are introducing a major upgrade to our oncology services and making technology-first cancer care more accessible, especially for the people of Karnataka.”
