Services include outpatient visits, inpatient consultations, and interventional procedures.
Pain Therapy
Pain therapy, or analgesic therapy, involves the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic pain. Working collaboratively with patients, the service aims to relieve or eliminate pain and enhance quality of life through medications, interventional procedures, and educational programs.
Palliative Care
Palliative care focuses on managing the symptoms caused by cancer, its complications, or treatment. This approach provides support to both patients and their families, aiming to alleviate suffering and improve quality of life for individuals with advanced or incurable disease.
