Increase in cancer cases being seen at the Mount St John’s Medical Centre By Orville Williams While the country continues to battle the Covid-19 pandemic, the oncology department at the Mount St John’s Medical Centre (MSJMC) has had its hands full, dealing with an increase in patients seeking help for various cancers. Following the observation of World Cancer Day on February 4, head of the hospital’s oncology department, Dr Nandan Shanbhag, told Observer that – considering statistics from 2013 up to 2020 – there has been an increase in cancer patients seeking treatment at the facility. “Definitely, there is a rise in the number of [cancer] cases that we are seeing. [However] I wouldn’t say rise in the objective way; what I would probably say is there must be a bit of awareness that has happened in the last maybe, two or three years, where the population has realised that they can avail themselves of good treatment at the Mount St John’s Medical Centre.
