The '''Hakim Sanaullah Cancer Centre''' is a Cancer Centre at [[Sopore]], in the Indian union territory of [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]].

HSCC is a rural cancer centre in the heart of [[Kashmir|North Kashmir]]. The Centre is part of the [[Hakim Sanaullah Specialist Hospital]] and providing quality [[Oncology|cancer care]] to the neglected rural population in the region. Currently the centre provides Medical Oncology, [[Surgical oncology|Surgical Oncology]] and Diagnostic/Imaging services. The centre remains part of a global effort towards managing cancer in a [[Resource|limited resource]] setting. Over two-thirds of Kashmiris live in rural areas with access to a [[health care system]] marred by deficiencies. An overburdened urban [[health care]] setup adds to the misery of these rural millions.

Hakim Sanaullah Specialist Hospital & Cancer Centre is an effort to overcome these deficiencies. The institution is a tertiary health care facility with the first rural cancer centre of Jammu and Kashmir catering to a population of over 1 million. By providing quality health care, accessible and affordable to these millions, the institution aims at changing the landscape of health care services in the region in particular, and the state as a whole.
