Day care chemotherapy has the advantage of avoiding disruption in the day to day life of cancer patients and their families while minimizing treatment costs. Two separate types of day care beds (single room and shared) are available at DHRC for catering to the individual needs of patients.

Dedicated Neutropenia Wing

Dedicated leukemia / neutropenia wing caters to the special needs of these patients who are at a high risk of developing infections.

This leads to a faster recovery and improved outcome while reducing treatment costs.
