CHL Hospitals 114, Indore, in collaboration with Elekta Medical Systems India Pvt. Ltd, launched its Elekta Harmony system on World Cancer Day. It is a first-of-its-kind linear accelerator (linac) aimed at improving cancer care and providing precision radiotherapy. With this new technology, CHL Hospitals 114 expects to increase its capability to deliver advanced, precise radiotherapy treatment to patients and improve their quality of life.
 
The launch took place in the presence of Mahima Chaudhary, actress and cancer survivor, along with Dr. Ashwin Rangole, Director – Oncology, Sr. Surgical Oncologist, Dr. Piyush Shukla, HOD – Radiation Oncology, Sr. Radiation Oncologist, Mr. Dhananjay Kumar, COO, CHL Hospital and Mr. Manikandan Bala, Senior VP - TIMEA and Asia Pacific, Managing Director India, Elekta.
 
The rising cancer burden has been one of the biggest challenges in India's healthcare infrastructure. Cancer is one of the leading cause of mortality in India. As per Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) report that cancer incidence has increased in past years. In 2022, 14.6 lakh new cancer cases and an estimated 8.08 lakh fatalities had been recorded. The most prevalent cancer recorded in India are lung, oral, cervical, breast and stomach cancers. Cancer incident in India is expected to increase in the upcoming years. It has also been predicted that by 2025, there will be 29.8 million cancer patients in India.[i]
 
More than 50% of cancer patients would benefit from radiotherapy and sophisticated medical equipment like linear accelerators in India. There is a critical need for adequate infrastructure to treat cancer patients. As per the WHO, there should be one radiotherapy (RT) system per one million population. Currently, India has 0.4 RT systems for a million population.
 
Advanced linacs such as Elekta Harmony can help in mitigating the aforementioned problems by providing best in class treatment up to 70% faster, thereby reducing long waiting times and increasing the chances of survival. Additionally, this equipment allows patients to receive personalised radiotherapy treatments, including 3D, IMRT, VMAT, DCAT, and SBRT.
 
"CHL Hospitals 114 and Elekta's collaboration is a step closer in the direction of leveraging advanced treatment options for cancer care. Elekta Harmony is a treatment system designed to meet healthcare centres' need for productive, precise and versatile radiotherapy treatment. It is well-equipped to address the care gap, providing a holistic ecosystem for cancer care in India," said Dr. Ashwin Rangole, Director – Oncology, Sr. Surgical Oncologist.
 
Dr. Piyush Shukla, HOD – Radiation Oncology, Sr. Radiation Oncologist at the launch said, "We are happy to unveil this path-breaking therapy, a key milestone in precision radiotherapy. We at CHL are proud to bring to patients Elekta Harmony, a state-of-the-art precision radiotherapy linac. With this machine, we will ensure that patients will be provided the same quality of therapy solutions available internationally. This technology will be accessible to more patients that need it."
 
"We keep advancing our treatments and investing to improve healthcare service delivery for our patients. We are thrilled that we will now be able to offer cutting-edge technology in precision radiotherapy with Elekta Harmony for our patients in Madhya Pradesh," said Mr. Dhananjay Kumar COO at CHL Hospitals 114 Indore.
 
Mr. Manikandan Bala, Elekta's Senior VP - TIMEA and Asia Pacific, Managing Director India, said, "Elekta Harmony marks a new chapter in advanced precision cancer treatments in India, helping to fulfil Elekta's strategy, ACCESS 2025.

Merck Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Merck KGaA Germany, together with African First Ladies, marks the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation 2023 as a part of the Merck Foundation "More Than a Mother" and "Educating Linda" program. Through "Our Africa" TV program, Merck Foundation addressed the harm and danger of FGM and urged African communities to Stop FGM in one of the 15 episodes that is broadcasted over Nation TV Stations of Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and soon to be also broadcast in The Gambia and Botswana.

Watch the Episode of "Our Africa by Merck Foundation" TV program on Ending FGM here: https://youtu.be/7GtXkBYv_94
 
Senator, Dr. Rasha Kelej, CEO of Merck Foundation and President of "More Than a Mother" campaign expressed on the importance of observing this day, "Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is a very serious problem that is a deep-rooted social norm in many cultures in Africa, Asia and Latin America. It is high time we act and raise our voice against this age-old futile practice that denies women and girls their dignity, endangers their health, causes needless pain & suffering and many other serious complications that they are forced to live with the rest of their lives such as - infertility, infections, stillborn babies and in some cases can also lead to death."

According to the UN data, the world over 1 in 4 women have undergone female genital mutilation, this is close to 52 million women world-over. Merck Foundation supports the UN's cause of putting an end to the practice of FGM by 2030.

"FGM has no health benefits, it only harms girls and women physically and psychologically. FGM can also lead to severe medical complications in women such as infertility as infection due to FGM is one of the main causes of Infertility. FGM also increases the risk of HIV transmission and can cause severe complications during childbirth. We must understand that FGM is recognized internationally as a violation of the human rights of girls and women. This practice needs to stop immediately." Dr. Rasha Kelej added.

"I strongly believe that Education is one of the most critical areas of women empowerment and will definitely help in stopping practices such as FGM which do not benefit anyone, educated mothers will know the harm and danger of FGM on their girls, moreover, Education also fosters questioning and discussion and provides opportunities for individuals to take on social roles that are not dependent on the practice of FGM for acceptance," Dr. Rasha Kelej further emphasized.

"Together with African First Ladies, Merck Foundation has contributed to the future of 1000's of girls by providing scholarships to continue their education and providing essential school items, through our "Educating Linda" program in many African countries such as Burundi, Malawi, Ghana, The Gambia, Nigeria, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Niger and more. Merck Foundation has released many inspiring children's storybooks and songs to support girl education. Moreover, we have announced awards of Best Film, Song, Fashion Designs and Media on this issue," added Senator Kelej.

Merck Foundation's pan African TV program "Our Africa", that is conceptualized, produced, directed, and co-hosted by Senator, Dr. Rasha Kelej, CEO of Merck Foundation and features African Fashion Designers, Singers, and prominent experts from various domains with the aim to raise awareness and create a culture shift across Africa, has an episode dedicated to open a dialogue regarding the ill effects of FGM and supporting girl education.
