Mr T. M Balan Nair, one of the first few volunteers of the pioneering Pain and Palliative Care Society in Calicut from the year 1994, a strong pillar of the community oriented palliative care movement, passed away at the age of 85.

For a long time, he chaired a sister organisation which was aimed at supporting rehabilitation of palliative care patients and families. His contributions to palliative care not only in Calicut, but in Kerala, were substantial.

We join his family in their grief.
