Oncology department in India w.r.t the rest of the world

Summary
The research work would start with analyzing the demand of dialysis treatment in India and what all kind of major types of cancer in India. The study would include the Government initiatives state wise, subsidy provided for the patients, what is the actual cost of dialysis versus the Out-Of-Pocket (OOP) expenditure of the patients. What all infrastructure are developed by the government as well as private companies for the cancer treatment in India. As well as analyzing and comparing every aspect of the study in global level with other developed as well as developing counties mainly in terms of OOP. The study would also consist of Machine Learning Algorithms which can detect if a patient is having cancer or not, just with the help of x-rays. It would require me to train a large data of CT Scan and Pathology images to come up with an algorithm which can accurately tell if a patient is having cancer or not.
