Guwahati: Barpeta Medical College and Hospital has entered a formal partnership with the Assam Cancer Care Foundation to improve cancer detection and prevention across the state. This agreement marks the first time a medical college in Assam has established such a collaborative framework with the foundation to boost community outreach.

He expects the partnership to significantly improve early detection rates and public health education. The memorandum was formally signed by Dr. Yadav and Dr. Talukdar to solidify their combined commitment to cancer care.
