VIP visits & 73 bright and eager faces
Pallium India had two distinguished visitors; Dr Xavier Gomez-Batiste, the director of the WHO Collaborating Centre at Barcelona, Spain and Dr Atreyi Ganguli from WHO (India).
After a tiring overnight train journey, they spent all their time over two days, working with us, evaluating programs, planning strategy and devising ways in which they could be helpful for palliative care in India.
They had a special treat at Trivandrum – a visit to the monthly review meeting of the palliative care program of National Rural Health Mission. 73 eager and bright faces- palliative care nurses working at each of the Panchayats (local self-government institutions) in the district. They were truly impressed with the achievement of the palliative care policy of the Government of Kerala.
