Day Care Centre

A day care centre for cancer patients is a medical facility where patients can receive treatments such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, blood transfusions, or supportive care during the day, without the need for overnight hospitalization.

Key Features of a Cancer Day Care Centre:
• Outpatient basis: Patients come in for a few hours and go home the same day.
• Chemotherapy unit: Administers chemo in a controlled, comfortable setting.
• Supportive care: Includes hydration therapy, antiemetics (for nausea), pain management, etc.
• Monitoring: Medical staff closely monitor patients for side effects or reactions.
• Counseling & nutrition services: Some centers offer psycho-oncology support and dietary guidance.
• Cost-effective: Usually less expensive than inpatient treatment.
