At Dr. Bhubaneswar Borooah Cancer Institute, psychological support is provided to the patients (for both pediatric and adult patients) and their family members. This service is provided to both inpatients and outpatients. Referral for psychological counselling and psychometric assessment of the patients comes from the various departments in the hospital. Self referral by the patient or by his/her family member is also accepted. Psychological support is also available for the staff working in the hospital as working in the field of oncology can make them vulnerable to experience stress, burnout etc.
