Pain and Supportive Care: The Right Care Starts Early

For many years, pain and supportive care were mistakenly viewed as services reserved for patients with advanced or terminal illness. Today, evidence and clinical experience have transformed this understanding. Pain and supportive care should begin at the time of diagnosis and continue throughout the patient's healthcare journey.

Early supportive care is a patient-centered approach that focuses on preventing and relieving suffering while improving quality of life. It addresses physical symptoms such as pain, fatigue, nausea, and breathlessness, while also supporting emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being. Rather than replacing disease-directed treatment, supportive care works alongside it, helping patients better tolerate therapies and remain engaged in their treatment plans.

SPHMMC is proud to be poiner institution in introducing palliative, pain and supportive care.

Pain and supportive care are not the end of treatment—they are foundations of Compassionate care from the very beggining.
