Practical support for appointments, registration, hospital navigation, documentation, diagnostic tests and follow-ups so patients can focus on their treatment.
In addition to the steps of visiting the hospital and discussing matters with the doctor, there are various other things that need to be done including registering at the clinic, locating the right department, getting tested, and waiting for the results, among others. If you are concerned about how to manage your cancer, the whole process could become rather strenuous.
The Visit to the Hospitals Program is created based on the thought that the entire procedure should be easy. Whether it is an initial consultation, evaluation or even treatment, patients will be assisted when visiting hospitals.
The idea behind Dr Sneha's Holistic Cancer Care is that even small things become difficult during those periods when one is most concerned about his/her health condition. As a result of this project, our patients as well as their families will not be worried about anything other than their treatment process at our hospital.
Most people would think that going to the hospital involves an appointment lasting for only a few minutes. However, this does not reflect the situation on the ground since it takes quite some time. It is common to find patients making their way through different departments of the hospital.
Waiting can also prove to be tougher than the appointments. This is because delays could occur, test reports take some time and treatments can be rescheduled. The waiting rooms can become physically exhausting for patients who are already feeble and tired.
It can even be hard for people to navigate around such huge facilities, especially if they have just arrived there for the first time. The thought of having to look around and know what to do next and manage your paperwork causes further pressure.
The family members themselves have their own difficulties. This could be in trying to schedule the appointment, all while managing their other commitments such as work, travelling and caring for others.This is where having someone else help would undoubtedly make things easier and more organized.
From appointment planning and paperwork to consultations, investigations and follow-ups, patients receive practical assistance at every stage of their hospital journey.

Everybody has a different perspective on their hospital visit. There are some people who like to do things by themselves while there are also others who may need some assistance through the journey. Given the numerous medical departments they must navigate, this becomes more pertinent to the elderly who may have trouble getting around.
The patient receiving treatment and those with some problems related to mobility will appreciate help at all hours of the day. Those who are coming from outside the town and do not have knowledge of the hospital surroundings will require help.
In most cases, the family often tells us that it is tough for them due to their schedules at work and even in schools to attend all appointments with their loved one. The Hospital Visit Assistance makes it easier for both parties. This way, they get to feel more confident and relaxed when visiting hospitals.

There are times when hospital visits might not even be difficult at all. However, there are some cases wherein staying in the hospital may be an exhausting experience especially when it comes to time and effort. Little factors like late reporting and taking a test can already prolong a hospital visit for an entire day.
Helping Hospital Visits does not aim at cutting off family involvement and clinical help altogether. It only aims at making sure that patients will never have to experience the pressure of dealing with many small but critical matters when visiting the hospital. Be it helping out with the many processes that occur within the hospital for the patient’s visit or any other smaller concerns, the bottom line is always the same: to make things easier for them.
