Palliative Care at Medwise Hospital
Palliative care is a specialized approach to care that focuses on improving the quality of life for patients with serious illnesses, including cancer. At Medwise Hospital, our palliative care services are designed to address not only the physical symptoms of disease but also the emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs of our patients and their families. Our goal is to provide compassionate, holistic care that enhances comfort and well-being at every stage of the illness.
Comprehensive Symptom Management
At Medwise Hospital, our palliative care team is skilled in managing a wide range of symptoms that can accompany serious illnesses, including:
- Pain Relief: Effective pain management is a cornerstone of palliative care. We use a variety of approaches, including medications, physical therapy, and alternative therapies, to control pain and improve comfort.

- Breathlessness: Our team offers strategies to manage shortness of breath, using medications, oxygen therapy, and breathing exercises to ease respiratory symptoms.
- Fatigue: We work to identify the underlying causes of fatigue and offer solutions to help patients conserve energy and maintain their daily activities.
