A bit more of suffering being scooped out – in Anand, Gujarat.
Pallium India has collaborated with Pramukhswamy Medical College, Anand, Gujarat, to start a palliative care centre.
Dr Prabhakaran Nair, Project Head, Pallium India, writes:
“At Pramukhswamy Medical College, Karamsad, Anand, I attended the anniversary celebrations of their cancer center and had the opportunity to meet and discuss palliative care with Smt Amrita Patel, the Chairperson of the Trust, Dean Dr Utpala Kharod and many of the faculty in Oncology and Neurology who regularly refer patients to the palliative care center. Smt Patel was all praise for the effectiveness of palliative care in the service of chronic patients. She offered all support to this venture. We would like to express our gratitude to her.
The committed services of Dr Alpa Patel, Dr Dinesh Kumar, Dr Shyam and Dr Namrata along with Ms Rekha Mcwan has helped the center to present good results.”
During the last few years, Pallium India had helped establish a palliative care centre in Jamnagar, Gujarat and also to upgrade the palliative care centre in GCRI, Ahmedabad to a training centre with financial support from Pallium India-USA.
We know the pioneers in those institutions as well as Rekha, Alpa, Dinesh, Shyam and Namrata will keep expanding the services to reach out to the rest of the state. We are fortunate to have these sincere committed colleagues. Best wishes, friends.
