Bangalore Hospice Trust

The main cost element is the doctor’s salary.

With a requirement for such services, our patient admission numbers have increased. To cater to this growth we have to increase the number of doctors on our rolls. As these doctors are professionals and to keep in line with the rising costs, our salary expenses have proportionately increased. Since BHT’s services are entirely FREE of cost, and BHT is totally dependent on donations and there is no committed funding towards the salary of doctors. We look forward for donors like you to help us out to Support the care expenses of a terminally ill patient by paying for the doctor's salary for a day.

Palliative care focuses on improving a patient’s quality of life by managing pain and other distressing symptoms of a serious illness. Palliative doctors concentrate on preventing and alleviating suffering, improving patients quality of life, and helping the patient and their loved ones cope with the stress and burden of your illness. Doctors who specialize in hospice, listen to patients, and align their treatments with what’s important to them, and help families navigate the complex healthcare systems. It is this compassionate approach of our dedicated and selfless team of doctors helps us to provide high quality care for the advanced stage cancer patients.

One of the biggest aspects of palliative care is the control of pain and the control of distressing symptoms. Each patient who is entrusted to our care therefore, needs a special care option to be designed for them. Our doctors go on rounds everyday to monitor the patient’s condition and design the best action plan for their medical treatment. Our doctors at the hospice therefore, provide this care completely free of charge ensuring that the patient is at peace, pain-free, in comfort, and with the best quality of life possible.
