Medical Social Services

They attend to the emotional, psychological, social and care needs of our patients in order to cope effectively with the challenges arising from various medical conditions.  Whereas our Social Work Assistants provide the required support to MSWs and the treatment team in delivering holistic psychosocial care to our patients.
