Red Fort
The Red sandstone walls of the massive Red Fort (Lal Qila) rise 33-m above the
clamour of Old Delhi as a reminder of the magnificent power and pomp of the
Mughal emperors. The walls, built in 1638, were designed to keep out invaders.
Inside is a veritable treasure trove of buildings, including the Drum House, the
Hall of Public Audiences, the white marble Hall of Private Audiences, the Pearl
Mosque, Royal Baths and Palace of Color.
Jama Masjid
Jama Masjid is another marvelous treasure of the Old City, and is the largest
mosque in India. Its courtyard can hold an incredible 25,000 devotees. The
mosque took 13 years to build, and was completed in 1650. A strenuous climb
to the top of its southern tower will reward you with a stunning view across the
rooftops of Delhi.
Qutab Minar
The 73 m tall minaret was constructed in 1192 by Qutab-ud-din Aibak, and
later completed by his successor Iltutmish. The soaring conical tower is an
exquisite example of Indo-Islamic Afghan architecture. The tower has five
distinct storeys, each marked by a projecting balcony and tapers from a 15 m
diameter at the base to just 2.5 m at the top. The first three storeys are made of
red sandstone; the fourth and fifth storeys are of marble and sandstone.
Gandhi Smriti
A visit to Gandhi Smriti will show you the exact spot where Mahatma Gandhi,
affectionately referred to as the Father of the Nation, was assassinated on
January 30, 1948. He lived in the house for 144 days up until the time of his
death. The room that he slept in, kept exactly how he left it, and the prayer
ground where he held a mass congregation every evening are both open to the
public. Plenty of photos, sculptures, paintings, and inscriptions are also on
display.
India Gate
At the centre of New Delhi stands the 42 m high India Gate, an "Arc-deTriomphe" like archway in the middle of a crossroad. Almost similar to its
French counterpart, it commemorates the 70,000 Indian soldiers who lost their
lives fighting for the British Army during the World War I. The memorial bears
the names of more than 13,516 British and Indian soldiers killed in the
Northwestern Frontier in the Afghan war of 1919.
Bahai (Lotus) Temple
This temple is built in the shape of a lotus flower and is the last of seven Major
Bahai's temples built around the world and was completed in1986 it is set
among the lush green landscaped gardens. The structure is made up of pure
white marble. The architect Furiburz Sabha choose the lotus as the symbol
common to Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Islam. Adherents of any faith are
free to visit the temple and pray or meditate. Around the blooming petals there
are nine pools of water, which light up, in natural light.
Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and
Research Centre, Delhi
An ISO 9002 and ISO 14001 Certified Comprehensive Tertiary Care Cancer Institute
Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute & Research Centre is the Visionary Project of Indraprastha Cancer Society &
Research Centre aimed at providing the best of Oncological Care to those who need it.
Indraprastha Cancer Society & Research Centre is a not for profit public society managed by a group of socially
responsible, selfless, philanthropists.
Society was formed in the year 1994 under the society’s registration act, 1860. The institute started functioning
on 1st July, 1996 when a soft opening was done by Hon’ble Smt. Sonia Gandhi.
However, it was formally inaugurated by the then, President of India, Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, in the presence
of Smt. Sonia Gandhi
The basic philosophy of the institute is to provide the best possible treatment to cancer cases with a human
approach at a reasonable cost and patient satisfaction.
Initiated as a 152 bedded hospital, it has been growing steadily and has never looked back. Presently it is a 241
bedded hospital, with state of the art facility for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer and is recognised as
one of the premium Institutes not only in northern India but also in the entire country.
Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute & Research Centre was the first hospital globally to get concurrent ISO-9000 and
ISO – 14001 certification.
The best thing to be noted about this cancer institute is that they not only provide treatment but also take care
on all aspects of the patients. For instance they have built a hostel 200 meters away from the hospital for the
people who accompany the cancer patients to stay during treatment.
The hospital activities have revolved around clinical services of radiation oncology, surgical oncology and
medical oncology supported by radiology and imaging, MRI, Nuclear medicine and laboratory services. The
other services that are involved in the patient care include-preventive oncology with its cancer awareness and
detection programmes, home cancer care services, physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
A brief of the various specialty departments are follows.
Medical Oncology: Department offers state of the art treatment
modalities for both adult and paediatric malignancies including
autologous and allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplant.
Facilities are available to undertake outpatients' chemotherapy in
specialized day care units. Specially trained nursing staff assists in
administration of chemotherapy in both day care as well as inpatients.
In order to make administration of chemotherapy safe and more
patient friendly, use of central catheters and ports is a routine in the department.
Surgical Oncology: The department consists of units specializing in head & neck; breast & thoracic;
gastrointestinal & hepatobilliary; and genitourinary oncological
services. All of these are involved in major radical as well as organs
preserving surgeries. Laproscopic guided surgeries are also
undertaken in situation where they are indicated. High Intensity
Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) at RGCI & RC has been operational for
treating organ confined cancer prostate and is the first to be available
in an exclusive cancer centre in India. The Initial results are very
encouraging.
Radiation Oncology: Radiation Oncology refers to the treatment of
cancer patients using radiation, which could be X-rays or Gamma rays.
The Radiation Oncology department is located on the ground floor, A
block of the hospital. The department is equipped with state of the art
Linear Accelerators, Simulator, High Dose Rate Remote after - loading
Brachytherapy system, dedicated treatment planning computers, and
Mould Room to fabricate lead shields and templates in house.
Department has been networked to CT scan and MRI with DICOM
compatible image transfer capability.
Laboratory Service:
The current practice of medicine requires accurate and prompt
laboratory test result to ensure a correct diagnosis, prognostication,
monitor response to treatment and prevent diseases / complications.
The department is providing facilities include histopathology,
cytology, cytochemistry, immune-histochemistry, auto analyzer,
automated Elisa reader and automated chemi-luminescence.
The department also has facilities for online interactive discussion on
patient’s clinical data and pathology presentation with other centreboth in India and abroad using telepathology network.
Well equipped 24 hours blood bank facility is available in the hospital. It includes collection of blood, and
preparation of various blood components.
Nuclear medicine:
The department has been involved in a wide range of nuclear
medicine procedures related to diagnostic and therapeutic
applications. A state-of-the-art PET-CT has been operational since last
2 years.
Apart from its diagnostic uses, the PET-CT images are routinely used
for radiotherapy treatment planning, both for IMRT and IGRT. The
department has been actively associated with International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA) activities for last many years.
Radiology:
The department excels in various subsections of imaging in line with
the internationally accepted imaging protocols. The department offers
facilities which includes X-rays, & computed Radiography, multislice
spiral CT scan with CT angiography and virtual endoscopy, stereotactic
biopsies, therapeutic embolization and TACE facilities etc. The
department has the unique distinction of being the first radiology
department in the country in 2002 to start radiofrequency ablation of
hepatocellular cancers, liver metastases and others
In short, the various departments and staff member of RGCI & RC are striving continuously to maintain the
highest standards of patient care in a bid to fulfil the basic philosophy of the Institute, i.e. is to provide the best
possible treatment to cancer cases with a humane approach at a reasonable cost and patient satisfaction.
