Our Director

Dr. Ravi Kannan

A surgeon par excellence paving the way to innovative & affordable healthcare
Padma Shri awardee Dr. R. Ravi Kannan is the Director of Cachar Cancer Hospital and Research Centre. Dr. Kannan is a surgical oncologist who previously served as the Head of the Department of Surgical Oncology at the prestigious Cancer Institute (WIA) in Chennai.

Before Cachar, the nearest cancer hospital was over 300 kms. away in Guwahati. Over the last 13 years, Dr. Kannan together with the entire team at the hospital has transformed the rural cancer centre into a full-fledged hospital and research centre. Innovations introduced in his endeavour to take inclusive cancer care to the masses include:
