Oncology Trends in Pakistan

Dr. Hassan Pervez has been working with different social groups and NGOs in Pakistan to explore the common cancers here. To elaborate the eitology of solid tumors and hemotoligical malignancies in Lahore.

Palliative Care

To control the symptoms bothering the patient is vital. This includes pain management, nutrition, breathing, fever, constipation, fatigue and any other related complication caused by the disease itself or its treatment. We have trained home hospice care nurses and physican assistants at our hospital, who provide such care to the patients at their homes.

Spirtual Care / Psycho Therapy

Patients have a strong belief in Allah. We help them to meditate and develop a releationship with GOD. This gives them internal strength and support to fight this disease. Reciting Quranic verses with them gives them a positive reinforcement in their struggle to beat this disease.
