पॅलिएटिव्ह व सहाय्यक उपचार: पॅलिएटिव्ह केअर म्हणजे फक्त शेवटच्या टप्प्यातील उपचार नव्हे. वेदना, उलटी, धाप, भूक न लागणे यांवर उपचार करून रुग्णाचे आयुष्य सुसह्य करणे, आणि कुटुंबाला आधार देणे – हे निदानापासूनच सुरू होते.
पैलिएटिव और सहायक देखभाल: पैलिएटिव केयर सिर्फ अंतिम चरण का इलाज नहीं है। दर्द, उल्टी, सांस फूलना, भूख न लगना जैसी तकलीफों का इलाज और परिवार को सहारा – यह निदान से ही शुरू होता है।
Palliative care means relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. It is not only for the last stage – it works alongside chemotherapy and other treatment, from the time of diagnosis.
What we help with
- Pain – including correct use of morphine and other strong painkillers, which are safe and not addictive when used as prescribed
- Nausea, constipation, breathlessness, poor appetite and weight loss
- Fluid in the abdomen or around the lungs – arranging drainage
- Anxiety, low mood and sleep problems
- Nutrition advice for patients on treatment (free nutrition guidance)
- Honest conversations about goals of care, and support for families
When cure is not possible
Good palliative care allows many patients to live comfortably at home with their family. We coordinate home-based care and hospital admission at Medicover Hospital when needed.
