- Palliative Care
At Karnawat Cancer Hospital, we believe in treating not just the disease, but the whole person. Our Palliative Care services are designed to provide relief from the symptoms, pain, and emotional stress of cancer—especially for those with advanced or life-limiting illness. We aim to improve the quality of life for both patients and their families, at every stage of the cancer journey.
What is Palliative Care?
Palliative care is a specialized branch of medicine focused on comfort, dignity, and support. It is not limited to end-of-life care—it can begin alongside curative treatments like chemotherapy or surgery and continue through recovery or advanced stages of illness.
