In this interview with ecancer, Dr Sreedevi Warrier speaks about Pallium India and its activities.

Pallium India’s Trivandrum Institute of Palliative Sciences has a training and education department providing models for community-based palliative care. Volunteers are trained before going back to the community and then supported and mentored as they provide care in their community; alternatively volunteers in remote communities can access training through virtual learning.

In areas where there is no existing palliative care Pallium India campaign to raise awareness and also fund local volunteers to complete the appropriate training. Pallium India also advocates at the national level for changes to national policy regarding drug availability.
