24/7 Palliative Care

What palliative care offers

Our palliative care is led by Dr. Akshay Jacob, our general practitioner for home and palliative care. The focus is on the person, not only the illness.

  • Home visits by our palliative care doctor
  • Help with pain and other symptoms, guided by the doctor
  • Guidance for family members and caregivers
  • Medicines delivered in CareBox

Who it is for

People living with a serious or long-term illness, at any stage, and the families looking after them.

    Care at home

    Most palliative care happens where the person feels most comfortable. Our doctor visits homes in Kazhakkoottam, Technopark, Kariavattom, Sreekariyam, Kulathoor and Akkulam, within about 10 km of our centre.

      Talking to us

      A family member can make the first call. Tell us about the person, their illness and what's hardest right now, and we'll plan the first visit together.
