The model relies on a technology backbone that enables anchor referral hospital/s that cater to complex cases, surgery, and radiotherapy supported by a network of smaller centers for catering to diagnosis and ongoing treatment so that the treatment can be decentralized; thereby reducing the load on apex centers for non-complex treatment while increasing accessibility and cutting down on the out-of-pocket expenses through avoiding loss of productive days for the family. The emphasis would be on improving the experience of cancer care by having digitally empowered cancer care navigators in the community to assist the patients and their family throughout the cancer care journey and beyond. The network is designed to be ‘wired’ to enable connectivity amongst all centers and health care professionals, seamless access to data, diagnostics, and patient consulting – which includes a combination of a central knowledge repository, diagnostic capabilities, and a common training HR pool.
