从1900年到2016年，印度的癌症病例和死亡人数翻了一番，而造成这一惊人数据的主要原因之一是缺乏癌症治疗的机会。塔塔医疗中心的成立就是为了改变这一现实，作为印度和整个东南亚地区患者的希望灯塔。目前，该中心的高级儿科顾问和癌症转化研究主任所做的临床研究已经将加尔各答的儿童癌症生存率从2014年的65%提高到了2019年的80%。

Cancer cases and deaths in India have doubled from 1900 to 2016, and one of the main reasons for that staggering statistic is the lack of access to cancer treatment. The Tata Medical Center was created to change this reality, acting as a beacon of hope for patients in India and across Southeast Asia. Already, clinical research done by the center’s Senior Pediatric Consultant and Director of Translational Cancer Research has increased childhood cancer survival rates in Kolkata from 65 percent in 2014 to 80 percent in 2019.

几乎在2011年该中心一期开业后，对其服务的需求远远超过了其150张床位的医院和门诊设施的能力。该医疗中心主任马门-钱迪博士表示，由于空间不足，该中心不得不拒绝30%的病人，有些病人等了两个月才做上手术。二期工程于2019年初开工，增加了240张床位，以及供访问教师和学生使用的教育街区，使其成为一个著名的学术医学研究中心。

Almost immediately after the center opened phase one in 2011, the demand for its services far outweighed the capacity of its 150-bed hospital and outpatient facility. The director of the medical center, Dr. Mammen Chandy, stated the center had to turn away 30 percent of patients because of lack of space and that some patients waited two months for surgery. The second phase, which opened in early 2019, added 240 beds as well as an education block for visiting faculty and students, making it a prominent academic medical research center.

这两个阶段的设计都是为了改善患者的体验，考虑到人们将从该地区各地前往接受可能挽救生命的治疗。通过使用庭院和户外 “走廊”，从公共空间到私人空间的自然发展，使医院具有校园的感觉，使儿童和成人患者在应对癌症诊断的生理和心理压力时精神振奋。

Both phases were designed to improve the patient experience, bearing in mind people would be traveling from all over the region to receive potentially life-saving treatment. The natural progression from public to private spaces through the use of courtyards and outdoor “hallways” gives the hospital a campus feel, uplifting the spirits of pediatric and adult patients as they cope with the physical and psychological stresses of a cancer diagnosis.

室外空间和庭院是患者、访客、医生和工作人员经常光顾的地方，以寻求片刻的休息。由于许多家属前来协助护理，因此候诊室的面积更大，以容纳这些群体，同时在病人区为那些长期停留的病人提供家庭空间。

The outdoor spaces and courtyards are frequented by patients, visitors, doctors, and staff looking for a moment of respite. Because many family members come to d assist with care, waiting rooms were made larger to accommodate these groups along with family spaces in patient areas for those staying for long periods of time.

塔塔医院致力于为所有患者提供护理–医院超过50%的住院床位提供免费治疗–这使其成为世界上这个快速变化的地区提供早期癌症检测和治疗的重要变革者。

Tata’s commitment to providing care for all patients—more than 50 percent of the hospital’s inpatient beds provide free treatment—makes it a critical changemaker in providing early cancer detection and access to treatment in this rapidly changing part of the world.
