National Institute of Cancer Research & Hospital (NICRH) offers an energetic and dynamic environment and staffed by well trained professionals dedicated to cancer patient management, education and research. This is the only tertiary level center of the country engaged in multidisciplinary cancer patient management. Although it started its activity in a tin-shade building of Dhaka Medical College Hospital 1982, soon it shifted to the present location at Mohakhali in 1986. According to a Memorandum of Understanding signed between Ministry of Health and Rotary Club of Dhaka the latter built the Rotary Cancer Detection Unit (RCDU) and the Cancer Institute started working as an outdoor cancer detection unit only. In 1991 50 bed indoor facilities incorporated. Subsequently the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare decided to convert 50 bed hospital to 300 bed capacity.
