Since then, it has been bringing hope and cheers not only to hundreds of cancer patients living in and around the city of Mysore but also to the people at large. Being a Registered Non-Profit organisation, the hospital provides treatment at a reasonable cost.

Bharath Hospital & Institute of Oncology is the first hospital in Karnataka to have two accreditations from the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals one for the hospital services and the other one for the imaging services. Bharath Hospital & Institute of Oncology has a single-minded aim of improving the quality of life of patients by empowering them to avail the best that medical science can offer. From patients’ assessment to their activities after their treatment, Bharath Hospital & Institute of Oncology strives to stand behind them at every step of their way.

Nutritional Requirements of Cancer Patients

Nutrition is a process in which food is consumed and used by the body for growth, to remain healthy, and to rejuvenate itself. Good nutrition is important for good health. Eating the right kind of food before, during, and after cancer treatment can help the patient feel better and stay stronger. A healthy diet includes eating and drinking foods and liquids that have important nutrients (vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates, fat, and water) that the body needs. Nutrition therapy helps cancer patients maintain healthy body weight, sustain strength, keep body tissue healthy, and decrease side effects both during and after treatment. A registered dietitian (or nutritionist) is a part of the expert team here at BHIO and will work with patients, their families, and the rest of the medical team to manage the patient’s diet during and after cancer treatment.

Goal of the program

Funding the entire/ a part of the treatments like surgery/radiation therapy/chemotherapy/supportive care etc., for economically weaker cancer patients registered at our hospital. Patients from economically weaker sections suffer without nutritional food during the course of the treatment. To overcome this problem, a free food program was started with a cause to provide balanced nutritional food for all the inpatients during their stay at the hospital.
