Cancer Care
Palliative and Rehabilitation
Palliative care is the active total care of patients with advanced illness. The focus is on quality of life, integrating the physical, psychological, spiritual, and social aspects of care.
Nirali Cancer Hospital’s palliative care nurses aim to enhance physical well-being through effective symptom control and management of pain, nausea, vomiting, constipation, sleeplessness, etc. Our nurses help to enhance psychological wellbeing through management of anxiety, depression, fear, denial, and hopelessness. They ensure that a positive outlook and good cheer are promoted. Spiritual well-being is also assisted through minimisation of suffering, focusing on religious beliefs, hope and meaning.
At the Hospital, we deliver a compassionate approach to end-of-life care, enhancing the quality of life and enabling the patient to live as fully and as comfortably as possible. Our Palliative Care Service offers a more dignified approach than usually provided in hospitals – thus the quality of life in your home environment.
Our services include a Palliative Care Nursing approach that focuses on:
- Relief of pain, symptoms and emotional stress brought on by a serious illness
- Alleviating side effects of curative treatments such as relieving nausea associated with chemotherapy which may help you tolerate more aggressive or longer-term treatment
- Holistic approach focusing on all aspects of patient’s life and well-being – physical, social, emotional, and spiritual
- Our nurses will monitor symptoms and medications and help educate patients and their families about developments. The nurse is also the link between the patient, his/her family and the physician
