Caring for patients with cancer is a very strenuous and highly stressful event for the family members. Worse, visiting a hospital and taking a day off from work affects the professional or academic work of caregivers who are working or studying. Till about 20 years back home visits by physicians were the routine practice in medical care. However, in the recent past, there has been a dramatic decline in home visits. We at Mangalore Institute of Oncology recognize the difficulty caregivers undergo when their family members are affected by cancer. In our motto of service to society and our patients and their family members, Dr. Suresh Rao has initiated HOME VISIT with the objective of reducing the physical and psychological stress to the patient and their family members.
