The inauguration of C. K. Bhaskaran Karunya Palliative Care Society was held at Muhama Panchayat near Cherthala, Alappuzha on Sep 3, 2014. The inauguration was done by Sri V. S. Achuthanandan. Mr Babu Abraham attended the event on behalf of Pallium India.

Sri C. K. Bhaskaran, who passed away in July 2014, had been the President of Muhama Panchayat for 12 years. He had played a very important role in initiating the Panchayat-based palliative care in Alappuzha. The society aims to impart training in palliative care, ensure medical facilities for the financially-challenged, launch an ambulance service, and establish a health laboratory.

We wish C.K. Bhaskaran Karunya Palliative Care Society every success in bringing effective palliative care to the needy in and around Alappuzha.
