We Care For !
We are there for you
Pain and suffering associated with life threatening diseases are often acute. Conventional medical therapies might not help. Patients need palliative care treatment to alleviate their pain and trauma.
Care beyond cure
Cure is not always possible. But care that encompass one’s medical, physical, psychological and spiritual needs will create a sense of well being for the patient and help to uplift the general mood within the family.
Add life to the days
Palliative team’s role is not to extend the life of a person with an acute illness. But, to help one to lead a life worth living. This care ranges from identifying right pain relief drugs to counselling of care givers.
