Why? Because right now, if you get cancer in some parts of India, no one's officially tracking it. No mandatory reporting. No early alerts. Just silence; until it's too late. Dr. Anurag Srivastava, former AIIMS surgeon, fought this in court, pointing out that only 17 of 36 states even bother to report cancer cases. That means 80% of India’s population isn’t covered by proper cancer data. And here’s the scariest part: patients in non-notifying states often get diagnosed at Stage 4; when treatment is costlier, harder, and sometimes impossible. The court didn’t just ask; it ordered. And it’s demanding a CoWIN-style cancer registry. Real-time. Nationwide. Because cancer doesn’t wait for bureaucracy. And neither should the system meant to fight it.
