The Dedicated Day Care Centre at Precision Cancer Research Institute (PCRI) has been architected to provide world-class, comfortable, and infection-controlled infusion therapy. Operating across our two state-of-the-art facilities — the Adajan branch (Shreepad Central Vista) and the Udhana branch (SGHOC, Milestone Indigo) — PCRI offers a combined capacity of 17 specialized day care beds.
Our day care framework eliminates the physical and emotional burden of overnight hospital admissions. Patients arrive for their scheduled chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy session, receive their precision-monitored treatment, and comfortably return home to their families on the same day.
