Department of Onco-anaesthesiology started functioning since 2001 with visiting anaesthesiologist from nearby hospitals. In 2009-10, Dr.(Col)N.C.Krishnan was appointed as consultant and he developed the department to the present status.He trained the technicians and organised the visiting consultants. He rendered his services till 2011.In 2015, a permanent faculty joined. At present the department has 5 faculties. On January 13th 2020 major OT complex started functioning after renovation work of OT-1and OT 2..
Now the institution has three major operation theatres and a brachytherapy OT.The major OT Complex is designed with Air Handling Unit with laminar flow, HEPA filter and Temperature, Pressure, Humidity monitoring. Each major OT is equipped with Anaesthesia workstation, Pendant, Intubation Trolley, Drug Repository, Energy devices, Suction devices etc.
