On the 22nd of October, Pallium India spent time at a workshop organized by the Social Security Mission of Kerala, a vibrant, dynamic governmental organization.

India’s healthcare system has had a national policy for elder care, for a long time. Unfortunately, for the vast majority of the 70 million-odd elders in India, quality care is not within their reach. A significant majority of the elders needs palliative care.

At least in Kerala, the palliative care activity has established a rich network all over the state. It makes so much sense for the two activities to work together, making a tremendous impact.

The meeting on October 22nd discussed these modalities in detail. We hope to move forward!
