Not really. But one thing is essential to note, ensure the smaller setup regularly gives chemo and the staff is trained.

Well, I don’t give chemo so wouldn’t be able to comment on that. But I guess, you can stick to good names from Indian space also, should not be a problem. You can speak to your Medical Oncologist for a better guidance on this.
