This expansion marks a new era in patient care, reaffirming Paras Health’s mission to make world-class, compassionate, and technology-driven healthcare accessible to the people of Bihar.

A Grand Inaugural Ceremony:

A step towards Advanced Cancer Care:

Paras Health – Patna’s newly commissioned Linear Accelerator (LINAC) represents a major leap in precision oncology.
This advanced radiation therapy system allows oncologists to:

• Deliver highly targeted radiation that destroys cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue
• Reduce treatment time and discomfort
• Lower side effects and complications
• Enhance recovery speed, enabling patients to return to normal life sooner

 

What Is LINAC and Why It Matters:

The Linear Accelerator (LINAC) is a sophisticated medical device that generates high-energy X-rays to target cancerous cells with pinpoint accuracy.
Unlike conventional radiotherapy, LINAC enables doctors to treat deep-seated tumors with minimal damage to nearby tissues.
Its benefits include:

• Enhanced precision for complex cancers
• Personalized dosing based on tumor size and location
• Shorter treatment sessions and fewer side effects
• Improved survival and quality of life for patients
• Consistent, accurate, and faster radiation therapy outcomes.
• Greater treatment capacity

This innovation eliminates the need for patients to travel outside Bihar for advanced cancer treatment — bringing global-standard oncology care right to their doorstep.

With the launch of the second LINAC machine, Paras Health – Patna becomes one of Eastern India’s few centers to operate dual LINAC systems.

 

Enhanced Diagnostic Accuracy with PET-CT :

The newly inaugurated PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography – Computed Tomography) facility takes diagnostic imaging to the next level by combining functional and structural scans in one.
This helps doctors to:

• Detect cancer at an earlier stage
• Assess tumor spread and stage precisely
• Monitor response to therapy in real time
• Plan personalized and targeted treatment strategies

Together, the dual LINAC and PET-CT facilities make Paras Health – Patna a comprehensive cancer care hub for Bihar and neighboring regions.

 

Expanding Capacity and Comfort with 50 Modular Beds:

In addition to its technological advancements, Paras Health – Patna has expanded its infrastructure with 50 new modular beds, designed to deliver superior comfort, safety, and efficiency.
Each bed is equipped with:

• Infection-control features for patient safety
• Ergonomic design for comfort and mobility
• Advanced monitoring setups to enhance nursing and clinical care

This expansion strengthens the hospital’s ability to serve more patients across specialties, ensuring round-the-clock, high-quality, and patient-centric care.

This milestone reaffirms Paras Health – Patna’s position as a regional leader in comprehensive cancer care and tertiary medical services, setting new standards in healthcare delivery.

With dual LINACs, advanced PET-CT imaging, and modular critical care infrastructure, Bihar now stands on par with India’s top healthcare destinations - ensuring that world-class treatment is available closer to home.
