As part of the ongoing project to integrate palliative care into mainstream health systems, Pallium India conducted a follow-up sensitization session with the Department of Radiotherapy at Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram. The session, aimed at enhancing knowledge and clinical confidence in pain management, was held on Friday, 21 November 2025, from 8:15 AM to 9:15 AM at the Radiotherapy Lecture Hall.

The topic for the day was ‘Pain Pathophysiology and the Use of Adjuvants’, and the session witnessed active participation from around 18 attendees, including faculty members and postgraduate students. The discussion was highly interactive, reflecting strong interest and engagement from all participants.

This training is part of a structured series designed to support the integration of palliative care within oncology services. Two additional sessions are scheduled in the coming weeks:

29 November 2025: Use of Opioids in Pain Management

2 December 2025: Case Discussions

We are pleased to note the continued progress of this collaboration and remain committed to strengthening palliative care education and practice across clinical disciplines.
