The palliative care programme run at Anadolu Medical Center aims to offer every patient treated in oncology the best possible quality of life.
The main aim of palliative care is to relieve the patient's physical pain, other troublesome symptoms or psychological suffering — and, where possible, to eliminate them completely — as well as to provide patients and their families with high-quality, intensive emotional support.
Cancer patients can experience many symptoms and face multiple difficulties. Palliative care also aims to protect the patient from suffering by working to relieve pain that can sometimes be unbearable. Reliable, high-quality individual support makes it possible to achieve these goals and so improve the patient's quality of life.
This is why every member of the oncology department at Anadolu Medical Center receives specific training in palliative care. While following the care plan drawn up by the oncologist for each patient, our team is also committed to providing the palliative care best suited to each person's individual needs. The aim is to make the course of the illness as easy and comfortable as possible for every patient.
