Maharajganj lacks cancer treatment facilities, leading patients seeking diagnosis and treatment from cities including Varanasi.

In Maharajganj district, there is a lack of adequate facilities for cancer treatment. Patients have to travel to larger cities for better medical care. Despite the presence of KMC Medical College in the district, patients prefer to go to bigger cities instead of getting treatment here, which causes them considerable inconvenience. The district relies solely on initial screening (testing) for diagnosis and treatment. With a population of approximately 3 million, this district has only 15 community health centers.
