Background: Covid-19 pandemic is affecting health systems around the world. People living with Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are affected the most. Cancer care activities are disrupted in terms of preventive, early detection, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up The aim of. Aim: study is to know the magnitude of discomfort to patients due to COVID-19 lockdown with respect to Hospital accessibility and Patient's perspective. Study was conducted at Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology (KMIO). Longitudinal data wasMaterials and Methodology: collected to know the effect of COVID-19 on Cancer Care. Data was collected from all departments. Trend from January 2020 to December 2020 was observed. The new registration decreased in April and July by around 50% and an increasing trend was observed from August. TheResults: same trend was observed in Diagnostic investigations. A decreasing trend in Admission was observed from April-2020. The number of surgeries performed decreased to more than 50% in the month of April, May and July-2020. Radiotherapy treatments reduced by around 50% in the month of April and July. 53.2% decrease in Chemotherapy cycles was observed in April and July. The Cancer care in terms of diagnosis andConclusion: treatment was affected during the April and July months and it subsequently improved from August-2020. Although the service was available, there was a decrease in the number of patients seeking care for obvious reasons such as non-availability of transport and economic reasons in seeking Cancer care.
