Don’t you love the beach? Don’t you like the feel of the sand on your feet as the sea washes over them?

Most of us do, and also perhaps, take if for granted. There are a few among us for whom this is not an every day affair, but a dream.

About 40 of our patients, many of them wheelchair-bound, met together on 13th October 2012 at Shanghumugham beach to celebrate World Palliative Care Day.

The National Rural Health Mission and District Panchayath had joined hands with Pallium India to make it possible.

Many of the attendees may never have had a chance to see the sea again in their lifetimes. They had fun!
