Elevated S.G.P.T levels may suggest liver damage or disease, such as hepatitis or fatty liver.

Hospice care is a type of care designed to provide comfort and support to patients with terminal illnesses, focusing on quality of life rather than curative treatments.

Patients diagnosed with a terminal illness and a life expectancy of six months or less, as determined by a physician, are eligible for hospice care.

Hospice care services include pain and symptom management, emotional and spiritual support, assistance with daily activities, and support for family members.

While both hospice and palliative care focus on comfort and quality of life, hospice care is specifically for patients nearing the end of life, whereas palliative care can be provided at any stage of a serious illness.

The hospice care team typically includes doctors, nurses, social workers, chaplains, home health aides, and trained volunteers.

Preventive health care involves measures taken to prevent diseases or conditions before they start. This includes regular check-ups, screenings, and vaccinations.

Common chronic diseases managed include diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), asthma, arthritis, and heart disease.

The frequency of health check-ups depends on your age, health status, and risk factors. Generally, adults should have a check-up at least once a year.

Women’s health services include gynaecological exams, prenatal care, family planning, breast health screenings, and menopause management.

Paediatric care includes well-child visits, vaccinations, developmental screenings, and management of childhood illnesses and conditions.
