PALLIATIVE CARE.

A plethora of patients who has completed their treatment; and developed recurrence and metastatic cases later, the hospital provide them efficient palliative care as they have a lot of symptoms particularly, pain, agony, depression, hallucinations etc.

Such types of patients need quality palliative care where they can be made comfortable in the remaining part of life; for which the hospital aims to start a “Hospice” where these patients exclusively would get treatment with a touch of homely love and affection.

DEPARTMENT COMMUNITY ONCOLOGY PROGRAM

The hospital believes that Oncological scenario in this country will not change if collective efforts are not focused on community Oncology works where awareness, Cancer Education, Prevention, early detection should be given on top priority. Keeping these aspects in mind, the hospital has been doing lots of activities targeting the poor, less-educated patients and the general public in the society. This hospital has carried out many training programs for the trainers and the target is mostly schools, colleges and different academic organizations.

To popularize this endeavor even at the remote area, the hospital has implemented regular “Out-Reach programmes”. The hospital has a dedicated team working at various nodal regions for the “Tobacco Cessation programme” in the state and after a period of 6 years it was observed that all the societal efforts made by this hospital has generated a remarkable image in the public; and the hospital continues to witness a large number of public coming for screening and check-ups. The initiative of Community Oncology has benefited millions in many parts of Bihar till date and the scenario continues to be more strengthened with better coverage and updates from professional Oncologists to medical-attention requiring remote places.
