Indian Institutions Expand Home-Based and Free Palliative Care Services
On World Hospice and Palliative Care Day, two initiatives highlight efforts to expand palliative care in India. The Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology in Karnataka reported over 750 home visits and support for more than 3,000 patients and caregivers, including financial and emotional aid. Meanwhile, Mumbai's Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and Sukoon Nilaya Foundation announced plans to open seven free palliative care and adult daycare centres, addressing the needs of millions requiring such services in Maharashtra. Both emphasize holistic care beyond hospital settings.
