About Us
The word ‘cancer’ invokes fear and panic in all our minds, regardless of our social, educational, cultural, or financial status. This is largely due to the uncertainty of cure and the fear of a swift and painful end. The palliative-care division of RCC, however, does its utmost to dispel fear and to reduce the pain and suffering of patients and their families.
Compassion in Action: Caring for Cancer Patients Since 2003.
Care Plus is an NGO, functioning since 2003 in RCC, providing palliative care for the RCC patients, by providing relief from pain and stress by easing the pain and managing the patients from the side effects of cancer treatment. The team of Care Plus treat the patients with care and compassion which enhance the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being and provides for the cost-effective treatment by supplying free medicine.
The primary objective of care plus is to provide free home care to patients of RCC. Patients experiencing uncontrolled pain, distress, nausea, vomiting, find it in ordeal to come over to the hospital and to wait for their turn to consult the doctor. Further the transportation of the patients involves high cost and great personal inconvenience. Care plus provides for almost all medical services to such patients at their doorsteps. Further, the transportation of patients involves much discomfort, inconveniences and high cost too.
