On February 25, 1994, The India Gospel League formalized an integral part of its medical outreach program by registering the Sharon Medical and Charitable Trust under the Indian Trusts Act of 1882. This Trust aims to provide quality medical care through the Sharon Cancer Center and General Hospital and Sharon Diagnostic Center. As one of the very few cancer centers in the country, it offers comprehensive cancer treatment for those in and around Salem living below the poverty line.

In 1998 the Cancer Center was fully functioning along with the Cancer Center Pharmacy and Hospice, all located at the hospital site at Sharon Gardens.

The hospital’s operation theatre was opened on June 19, 2000, and the first surgery, a Hemi-mandibulectomy, was performed. Sharon has two of the finest operation theaters in Salem.

The scope for training health workers is enormous. Recognizing this need, the Sharon Cancer Center initiated the Sharon School of Nursing in 1997. This nursing school not only helps train nurses for the hospital but also for other hospitals.
