Care gap in Cancer Treatment in India
The care gap in cancer treatment in India is significant, characterized by disparities in access to early diagnosis and advanced therapies. Rural areas face a severe shortage of oncology specialists and diagnostic facilities, leading to delayed treatment and poorer outcomes. High costs of cancer care also limit access for many patients, particularly in lower-income groups. Additionally, public awareness about cancer prevention and early signs remains low, further exacerbating the problem. Bridging this care gap requires a comprehensive approach, including improving healthcare infrastructure, increasing public awareness, and making treatments more affordable.

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
