Pallium India collaborated with Thanal Charitable Trust to create the first palliative care service in the Union Territory of Lakshadweep in 2013. It is progressing by leaps and bounds. They inaugurated their new Pain and Palliative care clinic in Kavaratti on 27-03-2014.

This facility which was constructed by a team of volunteers will run an Out Patient facility for Pain and Palliative care. It will also serve as the Head Office of the Lakshadweep Institute of Palliative Medicine. The foundation stone for a new Hospice (5 bed) facility was also laid on the occasion.
