Palliative Care at Vidarbha Hospital & Critical Care
Vidarbha Hospital & Critical Care offers compassionate and comprehensive Palliative Care for patients facing life-limiting or advanced chronic illnesses. Our goal is to improve quality of life by managing pain, symptoms, and emotional distress, while also supporting families through every stage of the illness.
What Is Palliative Care?
Palliative care is a specialized branch of medical care that focuses on relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of serious illness — regardless of the diagnosis or stage. It is not just for end-of-life care but is appropriate at any age and any stage of a serious illness.
Who Can Benefit?
- Patients with advanced cancer
- Those suffering from heart failure, COPD, kidney failure, or neurological conditions
- Patients with progressive, debilitating chronic diseases
- Geriatric patients with multiple comorbidities
- Patients and families needing emotional or spiritual support
Our Holistic Palliative Care Approach
At Vidarbha Hospital & Critical Care, our palliative care services include:
- Pain and Symptom Management: Relief from physical discomfort, nausea, breathlessness, fatigue, and insomnia
- Emotional and Psychological Support: For patients and caregivers coping with stress, anxiety, or depression
- Spiritual and Cultural Care: Respecting individual beliefs and preferences
- Advanced Care Planning: Guidance on medical decisions, treatment goals, and end-of-life choices
- Caregiver Support: Counseling, respite care, and education for families
Inpatient and Outpatient Services
Our palliative care services are available both in the hospital and on an outpatient basis. For patients who are home-bound or in the terminal phase, we also provide home care support and teleconsultations to ensure continuity and comfort.
Multidisciplinary Care Team
Our team includes experienced palliative care physicians, nurses, psychologists, physiotherapists, dietitians, and counselors who work together to create an individualized care plan tailored to each patient’s needs and values.
When to Start Palliative Care?
Palliative care can be introduced at any point in a serious illness — not just at the end of life. Early integration can improve comfort, emotional well-being, and even treatment outcomes. It also helps patients and families make informed decisions without fear or pressure.
