my mom has cancer in the GI junction and already had chemotherapy now surgery is recommended but the treatment cost is too high for us can you suggest a good hospital that provides affordable care with proper facilities

For GI junction cancer surgery in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Nagpur), consider exploring government hospitals like the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) or the Maharashtra Cancer Care Centre for potentially lower-cost options while maintaining quality care. These facilities may offer subsidized treatment plans and have specialized teams for GI cancer surgery. You can also explore private hospitals like Sahyadri Hospital in Pune (though outside of Nagpur) which may offer more affordable options compared to some other private hospitals
