The integrative cancer care service we offer include:

In-patient chemotherapy

Most cancer chemotherapies can be administered safely and effectively in hospitals. However, in certain clinical conditions such as acute leukemia, known hypersensitivity reactions, or comorbidities, an inpatient stay becomes medically necessary as they require patient monitoring or complex administration over multiple days. With the best oncologists in Kottakkal and a full range of in-house support facilities, we provide an environment of care and competence to enable speedy recovery at nominal costs.

Chemotherapy Day Care

For many minor procedures or treatments, patients can avoid overnight hospitalization. Our Chemotherapy Daycare is a well-equipped facility that allows patients to walk home the same day of treatment. The Daycare unit here is one of the best in Kerala, staffed by experienced oncologists and nurses in Kottakkal. Here, we offer follow-up treatments, blood transfusions, and patient teaching and counseling related to side effects, dosages, and after-chemo care.

Intensive Care

Patients with cancer are at high risk for acute life-threatening illnesses that require ICU admission. The indications can be cancer-related (eg, critical organ infiltration), treatment-related (eg, sepsis, drug toxicity), or due to comorbid illnesses (eg, kidney or heart failure). Almas Hospital is one of Kerala's multi-specialty healthcare providers. At Almas, the Oncology Intensive Care Unit is at the core of many life-saving treatments. Here, patients are monitored round the clock in sterile environments by the best oncologists in Kottakkal, specialist nurses, respiratory therapists, and counselors that are on call to assist with emergencies.

Pediatric cancer care

Pediatric cancer is very rare, but it can happen and may come in many forms such as leukemia, lymphoma, and neuroblastoma. Our pediatric cancer care unit provides compassionate, professional care to many hundreds every year. Here, your child will receive a personalized treatment plan from India’s leading pediatric oncologists and blood disorder experts. From treatment to diagnosis to follow-up care, our specialists are with you and your child every step of the way.

Cancer screening and prevention

Preventative oncology is a subspecialty in Oncology that focuses on key measures that can prevent cancer onset or delay the progression of the malignancy. Cancer prevention and screening are the cornerstones of Preventive Oncology. AOI at Almas Hospital offers the best cancer screening, surveillance, and counseling programs in Kerala to reduce cancer incidence and mortality and improve the lives of cancer patients.

Leukemia and Lymphoma treatment

Often referred to as "liquid tumors'', leukemia and lymphoma are blood cancers, affecting the bone marrow, the blood cells, and the lymphatic system. Together with the American Oncology Institute, Calicut, we bring a range of novel treatments including targeted therapy, stem cell transplant, hormonal therapy, and immunotherapy to fight alongside you.

My family and I would like to convey our appreciation for the care provided to my mother who was admitted in your Gastroenterology Department. There was a lot of love, sympathy, and respect in the ICU. Lastly, a particular thank you to your nurses and great doctors, who gave us professional assistance, comfort, and the strength to make informed choices for ourselves. Finally, I cannot express my gratitude enough to the head director and Almas personnel. They were understanding and helpful. They are probably the best in entire Malappuram.

We would like to express our gratitude to you and your team for the exceptional care provided to our daughter by the physicians and nurses in your Pediatrics Department. Our baby's doctor was competent, courteous, and empathetic, and her treatment was "on the mark". Your hospital should be happy to have such generous and kindhearted individuals.

I'm writing on my brother's behalf since he was a patient at your facility a few months ago. I'd want to express my gratitude on behalf of my entire family for the assistance and consideration you extended to us through what was a very trying period. I found your Cardiology Department the best in the city. I'd want to express my gratitude to you once more for the services you give to patients and their families.

I was hospitalized in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Almas Hospital, and I'm writing here to you to share my thoughts. I was apprehensive when I walked into the emergency department. But my nerves were eased when I was greeted with multiple smiles from your staff. The physicians and nurses in the Labor and Delivery room were exceptional. When it came to addressing questions, they were patient, friendly, and efficient. Their major concern was making sure I was safe. I felt confident that they had my best interests at heart and would take every precaution to keep me safe during the procedure. Thank you for recruiting such outstanding staff.
