About the Department
Palliative Care in Punjab
Palliative care is specialised medical care for people living with a serious or life-limiting illness — such as advanced cancer, heart failure, chronic lung disease, kidney failure, liver disease or neurological conditions. Its goal is simple: to improve quality of life for the patient and the family by relieving pain and other symptoms, and by easing the stress that serious illness brings.
Palliative care is not only for the last days of life. It can begin at diagnosis and be given together with treatments such as chemotherapy, dialysis or surgery. Many patients receive it for months or years, moving in and out of active treatment while their symptoms stay under control.
At Amandeep Hospitals, palliative care draws on our pain management, oncology, internal medicine, critical care, nursing, nutrition, physiotherapy and psychology teams. Together they build a plan around what matters most to the patient — comfort, independence, time at home and clear, honest information.
How We Support Patients & Families
- Expert control of pain, breathlessness, nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite and other distressing symptoms.
- Care given alongside ongoing treatment — patients do not have to stop cancer, kidney or heart care to receive it.
- Unhurried family meetings to explain the illness, the options and what to expect.
- Advance care planning, so treatment choices reflect the patient's own wishes and values.
- Emotional, psychological and spiritual support for patients, families and caregivers, including bereavement support.
- Caregiver training and discharge planning for safe, comfortable care at home.

Palliative Care — Frequently Asked Questions
Palliative care is specialised medical care for people with a serious illness. It focuses on relieving pain and other symptoms and on supporting the emotional, practical and spiritual needs of the patient and family, so that quality of life is as good as possible.
No. Palliative care can start at any stage of a serious illness, including at diagnosis, and can continue for months or years. End-of-life care is one part of palliative care, but many patients receive it while still having active treatment.
No. Palliative care works alongside treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, dialysis or heart medicines. Our team coordinates with your treating doctors so symptom control and disease treatment support each other.
When prescribed and monitored by a doctor for pain or breathlessness in serious illness, morphine and similar medicines are safe and effective. Doses are started low and adjusted carefully, and addiction is very uncommon in this setting. Side effects such as constipation or drowsiness are anticipated and managed.
Anyone living with a serious or life-limiting illness — such as advanced cancer, heart failure, lung disease, kidney or liver failure, or neurological conditions — and their families. It is based on need, not on age or prognosis.
Families are part of the care plan. We hold family meetings, explain what to expect, teach caregivers how to help at home, offer counselling, and continue to support families through bereavement.
