HCG Cancer Centre Launches Home Healthcare Service

Reportedly, the home health service will cover long-term & short-term nursing care, breast cancer, cervical and oral cancer screening with HCGs exclusive portable devices, lab test/diagnostic home-sample collection and home delivery of medicines in the first phase.

HCG Cancer Centre has launched a first-of-its-kind home healthcare service exclusively for cancer patients in India. The service is available across the country and caters to patients of all age groups.

With this initiative, HCG Home Health seeks to provide professional and high-quality care within the convenience of the patient's home. It is designed to meet the needs of the patients by offering personalised care with a higher sense of security, dignity, and independence.

Reportedly, the home health service will cover long-term & short-term nursing care, breast, cervical and oral cancer screening with HCGs exclusive portable devices, lab test/diagnostic home-sample collection and home delivery of medicines in the first phase.

While, it will be extended to provide skilled caregivers, pain management, rehabilitation programmes and doctor visits in the second phase.

Additionally, HCG has launched an advanced portable breast cancer screening device EVA- Braster Pro to mark the breast cancer awareness month.

Sharing his views, Venkateshwarlu Marapaka, business head-central India & COO of HCG Nagpur said, ‘’Home health is becoming an integral part of our healthcare system as studies have shown that patients recovering from illness, injury or surgical procedures heal better when care is delivered at home. Home health allows patients to receive professional care in the privacy and comfort of their own homes. It provides personalised care which is delivered in the calming environment of your house and in the companionship of your family.’’

Founded in 2005, HealthCare Global Enterprise (HCG) is India’s leading cancer network. Currently, HCG has a network of 24 comprehensive cancer centres across India, offering advanced diagnostics and world-class cancer treatments. It aims to make comprehensive quality care accessible, affordable, and equitable to cancer patients across metro and non-metro cities.

While established in 2017, Nagpur’s HCG Cancer Centre is the first private comprehensive cancer care hospital in Central India. The hospital treats all types of cancers with the latest advancements in the radiotherapy system including image-guided radiotherapy and radio-surgery which is designed to treat tumours with speed and precision.

Recently HCG has been hitting the headlines with several developments, for instance, HCG Manavata Cancer Centre launched Manavata365 home healthcare services in Nashik. This initiative aimed to provide prompt and proficient healthcare services to patients in the comfort of their homes. Manavata365 offers personalised services with a team of over 300 trained home attendants, nurses, and on-call doctors. The services include diet consultations, pharmacy services, lab tests, medical equipment rental, AI-based ECG tests, and even at-home x-ray services.

Just days back, HCG acquired SRJ CBCC Cancer Hospital marking its entry into Madhya Pradesh. This acquisition enhanced the hospital’s capacity and created opportunities for operational scale-up. This includes implementing organ-specific practices and introducing advanced cancer care technologies, aligning with HCGs to elevate the standard of cancer care.
