chosen as campsites. The periodicity is also such that the Trust covers as much area as

As most of us are aware palliative care, a branch of medicine, has recently come into

light particularly referring to patients suffering from cancer or other serious diseases,

more so regarding patients having terminal and incurable cancer and other such

serious diseases. This centre aims to minimize pain and suffering and improve the

quality of life of the patient and the family during regular curative treatment and after.

The aim is to make patients to be comfortable in the remaining part of their life rather

than waste it thinking about pain and death. It is not just physical pain that holds the

cancer patients, especially someone who is beyond cure. This centre aims at holistic

care catering to the patient's different needs and moods at the same time taking care of

the family's needs.
