# India’s first neuro-oncology rehab centre opens in Mumbai 2026-08-13T16:01:06+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet India's first dedicated neuro-oncology rehabilitation centre, 'Amrit Sparsh', opened in Parel, Mumbai on Thursday. Jointly set up by the Indian Cancer Society (ICS) and Tata Memorial Hospital, it will cater to around 2,000 patients with brain and spinal tumours annually. Neuro-oncology cases account for less than 2% of all cancers, but survivors often face impairments in movement, speech, and cognition. The centre offers physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and cognitive rehabilitation. Services are free for underprivileged patients and heavily subsidised for others. ## Coverage - freepressjournal.in Tags: brain tumour, Indian Cancer Society, Mumbai, neuro-oncology, rehabilitation, Tata Memorial Hospital Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/indias-first-neuro-oncology-rehab-centre-opens-in-mumbai/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
