Outpatient Pain & Palliative Care Clinics
CanSupport launched its Outpatient Clinics (OPCs) in 2013 to extend palliative and supportive care beyond the ambit of home visits for transient patients or those receiving active curative therapies in hospitals. As per the integrated model of palliative care in Delhi, patients referred from healthcare institutions, communities, and other sources are assessed and triaged for optimal care by being referred for home based, day care or hospice care facilities per the requirements.
The OPCs provide a spectrum of medical, nursing, nutritional as well as psychosocial and financial support activities to facilitate early intervention in the cancer trajectory. Comprehensive nursing care including prevention and management of wounds, ulcers, pressure sores, and lymphedema, as well as oral & eye care is provided at the clinics. The introduction of physical therapy has also been helpful for patients in managing fatigue, improving physical function, and becoming independent in daily activities.
Our effective management of side effects enables patients to cope with their therapies for improved outcomes and remain motivated for continuity of care and to complete the treatment. To aid in this further, a first of its kind Mobile Palliative Care Clinic was also introduced in 2021 and with that addition, we currently service around 20,000 patients every year.
