MCC-PGIOSR's own Patient Support Facilities
Patient Free Food Scheme:
As most of our patients belong to lower socio-economic strata struggling to earn for their meal, with the financial assistance from philanthropists and like-minded organizations, all in-patients are given food (three times a day) at free of cost.
Patient Welfare Fund:
This Patient Welfare Committee co-ordinates all the welfare activities of the patients who are undergoing treatment at this Centre. It promotes to raise the money for the patient welfare fund from the general public as well as staff members of Malabar Cancer Centre-Post Graduate Institute of Oncology Sciences and Research. This fund is utilized for the treatment/ investigations for the needy patients after proper assessment. Those patients who fail to get any Government assistance scheme are assisted with this fund.
Hospital Library for Patients and Relatives:
A unique Hospital library for patients, their relatives and staff is functioning in the centre since 2005. The library is funded by Kerala State Library Council.
Free Home care Services:
Home care services are provided to patients staying nearby and who are unable to travel to MCC-PGIOSR for availing treatment. Medicines like morphine, certain palliative procedures are performed by trained staff. MCC-PGIOSR's Own vehicle is used for the purpose and no charge is levied forth.
Drug Bank:
Drug Bank is also formulated for collection of drugs from Doctors in and around Thalassery and also sample medicines issued from various pharmaceutical companies. Such medicines are issued free of cost to the needy poor patients, who are undergoing treatment from this Centre.
Free Transport System:
A mini bus for transportation of patients to and fro from Railway station to MCC-PGIOSR, which is situated on a hilltop in the suburb of Thalassery town. This bus service is of immense help to poor patients.
Waiting area and resting area for Bystanders:
Constructed using the MLA ADS scheme of Adv. A N Shamseer, MLA Thalassery.
Dormitory Support for bystanders (carers):
Many patients come from far off places from various Districts. Their care givers need accommodation to support their loved ones. Most of them are unable to bear the expenses of stay in rented buildings or Hotels. Hence through MPLADS, Adv. Sathidevi was kind enough to provide a Dormitory, built within the campus. Here bystanders of in-patients are provided free accommodation.
