RML has become the third government hospital in Delhi to start such a clinic for cancer patients. Earlier this facility is available in AIIMS and Safdarjung Hospital.
Regarding this clinic, Dr. Nandini Duggal, medical superintendent of Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, says that in addition to the physical pain of the patient, doctors also counsel them on the basis of mental pain.
