Chethana is an initiative of Thrissur Pain and Palliative Care Society aimed at supporting people with chronic kidney disease and their families. Pallium India had the privilege of being part of their get-together on 20 November 2016. The hall was full.

We congratulate Chethana activists on creating this forum to listen to the people who actually are suffering, to identify their problems and to seek solutions. We also request them to take leadership to create a common forum for the whole state so that identical problems and their solutions can be shared, obviating the need for reinventing the wheel. Hopefully, that can evolve to a national initiative.
