Rajkot to Get Dedicated Palliative Cancer Care Facility
28 Jan
Summary
- A new palliative cancer care center is being established in Rajkot.
- The facility will offer comprehensive care and support for advanced cancer patients.
- Services will be provided free of charge, addressing a regional healthcare gap.

A new Palliative Cancer Care Centre is set to be established in Rajkot, marking a significant advancement for healthcare in the Saurashtra region. The "Pritiben Prabhudasbhai Parekh Palliative Cancer Care Centre" will be located in Amreli village, on the outskirts of Rajkot.
This specialized medical facility will focus on improving the quality of life for patients in advanced stages of incurable cancer. It aims to provide comprehensive care, including pain and symptom management, alongside essential emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual support.
The absence of a dedicated palliative care hospital in Saurashtra has previously necessitated patients seeking care elsewhere. This new centre will bridge that gap, ensuring accessible comfort and relief.
