Pain relief at home
We believe that patients should be able to remain at home and they should not visit hospitals in emergency because of severe pain, looking for pain killer injections. Our pain management program ensures this. In the beginning we may call the patient to admit in the hospitals for a day or two to give them instant pain relief and then pain relief continues at home with the help of pain management planning. Full support is provided by our team of super specialist doctors and nurses on day – today basis, so that patient and family remain comfortable at home. Pain management planning is customized to the individual need of every patient and type of cancer.

Reasons of home care
“We die in the society we create”. A crowd attending a palliative care conference comprising of doctors, nurses volunteers were asked, “where would you like to spend your last days?”. Surprisingly all of them answered at their home amongst their loved ones.
Homecare provides support for the patient as well as the family members. Palliative care at home makes life comfortable for the patient. If you are getting an expert at home, the advantages are comparable to hospital admission.
Multidisciplinary approach
Palliative care takes care of total pain. It takes care of patients psychosocial issues, symptom control and disease management.
