Breast Care

Breast Cancer is the leading cancer among women, and it poses enormous physical, psychological, and social challenges from the moment of diagnosis.

Learning to live with Breast Cancer is no easy task and thus intervention by Breast Care Nurses are vital during the initial period, which often involves considerable waiting, uncertainty, emotional and physical stress which causes great impact on patients and their families.

Specialised Breast Care Nurses are there to provide es​sential support, counselling, and information to empower our breast cancer patients to participate in treatment decisions and take control over their health and life in their breast cancer journey.
