Onco-Life Cancer Centre: Maharashtra’s Leading Oncology Hospital Chain

Onco-Life Cancer Centre (also known as Onco-Life Hospitals) is the largest chain of dedicated oncology hospitals in Maharashtra, India. Founded in 2014 by Mr. Uday Deshmukh – a veteran with over 45 years of experience in oncology – Onco-Life began with a vision to bring world-class cancer care to underserved regions. The first centre was established in Satara in 2014, and the network has since expanded to multiple locations including Satara, Chiplun, Talegaon, and Wagholi (Pune). Each hospital is a one-stop centre for comprehensive cancer diagnostics and treatment, reflecting Mr. Deshmukh’s mission to make advanced cancer care accessible under one roof. Onco-Life’s journey has been defined by a commitment to excellence, affordability, and patient-centric care, quickly earning it a reputation as a trusted destination for cancer treatment across Maharashtra.

Advanced Technology and Expert Care

Onco-Life Cancer Centre spares no effort in sourcing the best technology and talent in service of its patients and society. The hospitals are equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment facilities on par with those in top global cancer centres. Notably, Onco-Life introduced the TomoTherapy with Synchrony radiation system at its Talegaon centre – the first installation of this cutting-edge technology in Maharashtra and only the third in all of India. This advanced radiotherapy platform, globally recognized for its effectiveness, enables highly precise and synchronized cancer treatments. In addition, the centres house modern amenities such as PET/CT imaging, gamma camera nuclear medicine, dedicated surgical oncology suites, and a specialized paediatric oncology unit, ensuring comprehensive care for patients of all ages.

Equally important is the expertise of Onco-Life’s medical team. The hospital chain recruits highly trained oncologists, surgeons, and healthcare professionals from some of India’s top cancer institutes in cities like Pune, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai and Ahmedabad. This skilled manpower brings a wealth of national and international experience to Onco-Life, enabling it to deliver world-class care with compassion. Under Mr. Deshmukh’s leadership, the team adheres to a strict ethos of quality – using the same advanced protocols and technologies found in leading Western hospitals. Onco-Life’s unwavering focus on quality is affirmed by its three NABH accreditations (from the Quality Council of India), a recognition awarded for meeting the highest standards of healthcare excellence and hospital management. The organization also believes in social responsibility: it offers many treatments at subsidized costs or free of charge to needy patients, fulfilling its founder’s vision of care that is accessible and affordable to all.

From Chairman’s Desk

Mr. Uday Deshmukh

Founder & CEO, Onco-Life Cancer Centre
As the Founder and CEO of Onco-Life Cancer Centre, Satara, I carry with me over four decades of experience in the field of Oncology. My journey began as an Electronics Engineer, but my passion led me to dedicate my life to advancing cancer care in India and beyond. Over the years, I have had the privilege of leading more than 50 oncology projects across India and internationally, including several turnkey ventures for reputed hospitals. My specialization in Radiation Oncology and international exposure has shaped my deep understanding of the evolving needs in this critical field.
At Onco-Life, I personally oversee the entire administration and play an active role in the centre’s growth and strategic expansion. With a clear vision and steadfast determination, I ensured that our hospital would be equipped with the most advanced technologies, leaving no room for compromise. My mission was simple — to bridge the glaring gap in the quality of cancer care in our country and to offer our patients the same standard of treatment and dignity that is available in the best hospitals globally.

Throughout my career, I have witnessed the emotional and physical toll that cancer takes — not only on patients but also on their families. This empathy and understanding have been the cornerstone of Onco-Life. I have always believed that compassionate care and cutting-edge treatment must go hand in hand.

Despite facing financial risks and discouragement from many, I made the conscious decision to leave behind a secure career to build something more meaningful — a centre of hope, healing, and excellence. Onco-Life Cancer Centre was born from that very decision — a symbol of change, resilience, and our unwavering commitment to redefining cancer care in India.
Our journey has not been easy, but it has been incredibly rewarding. Every milestone we’ve achieved is a reflection of the trust our patients place in us and the tireless efforts of our dedicated team. As we continue to grow, our vision remains the same — to be a beacon of innovation, integrity, and compassionate care in the healthcare industry.
Let us continue to strive together for a healthier, stronger future.
Mr. Uday Deshmukh Founder of Onco Life Hospital
