Karunasagar- Hospice for cancer and non-cancer poor patients

The terminally ill patients with chronic illnesses are sent away after being told that there is no treatment beyond curative stage. The patients and families are pushed into helpless situations. The relatives neither have the means or the expertise to take care of them and the cost for medicines, dressing, other minor procedures and nursing cannot be afforded by them. They also need to work to support the other family members as they work as daily wagers

Karunasagar is a hospice that has 50 beds that takes care of cancer and non-cancer patients and elderly people with advanced, terminal diseases. The center has a professionally trained team of doctors, nurses, therapists and counselors to take care of such patients. The treatment is provided by a modern expert medical advice and team.

Nursing care, maggot removal, pain management, bed care, catheter changes: all are done. The hospice provides shelter, medication and food free of cost.

The integrated professional palliative care strives to provide dignity lives to the patients who have been bed-bound. They are given baths, dressing of wounds is done and care is taken to minimise their suffering.

This unit is committed to give a quality life to these people, who, otherwise would be with no place to go to and shall suffer with no access to palliative medical care.
