Palliative Care Center
Today, an aging population, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, rising cancer rates, and prolonged care processes are creating a growing need for advanced, safe, and sustainable healthcare services.
What Is Palliative Care?
Palliative care is a comprehensive and multidisciplinary healthcare service aimed at improving the quality of life of individuals with life-threatening, chronic, or advanced-stage illnesses. The primary goal of this approach is not limited to treating the underlying disease; it also focuses on pain and symptom management, enhancing physical comfort, supporting daily living activities, and ensuring continuous access to safe and appropriate healthcare.
The palliative care process includes close monitoring by a professional healthcare team of conditions such as shortness of breath, pain, nutritional problems, limited mobility, risk of infection, difficulty swallowing, and the need for long-term care. At the same time, a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s physical, psychological, and social needs is one of the most important components of modern palliative care.
This model of care is becoming increasingly important for:
Elderly patients
Supportive care for cancer patients
Patients with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and neurological disorders
Patients requiring care following a stroke
Patients requiring close monitoring after intensive care
Bedridden or mobility-dependent individuals
Patients requiring PEG tubes, tracheostomy, or specialized medical care
Patients requiring long-term professional healthcare support
A First in Bursa
Particularly for elderly patients, individuals living with chronic diseases, and those requiring long-term close medical monitoring, not only professional care but also a strong hospital infrastructure, a multidisciplinary approach, and continuous healthcare support are of great importance.
As a first among private hospitals in Bursa, the Palliative Care Center licensed by the Ministry of Health has commenced services within Medicabil Health Group’s Nilüfer Hospital. The Palliative Care Center at Private Medicabil Nilüfer Hospital provides professional care under the supervision of specialist physicians, supported by modern hospital infrastructure, with patient safety and quality of life at the forefront.
Palliative Care at Medicabil
At the Medicabil Nilüfer Hospital Palliative Care Center, care extends beyond patients’ daily needs. Specialist physician assessments, medication management, pain and symptom control, wound care, nutritional support, infection monitoring, nursing services, and close monitoring of patients’ overall health status are carried out through a multidisciplinary team approach.
The fact that our center operates within a hospital provides rapid access, when necessary, to Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Neurology, Intensive Care, and other medical specialties. The ability to promptly assess changes in patients’ health status and plan the necessary medical interventions without delay provides significant advantages in terms of patient safety, continuity of healthcare, and a comfortable care process.
With modern patient rooms, 24-hour healthcare staff support, specialist physician supervision, and strong hospital infrastructure, our Palliative Care Center provides reliable and comprehensive healthcare services in Bursa for elderly patient care, palliative care, and long-term professional healthcare needs.
