Partnering to improve Palliative Care in India

Two Worlds Cancer Collaboration supports programs in India that focus on palliative care for those facing a cancer diagnosis – women like Kavitha.

Palliative care is supportive care. It's care that can begin even before a diagnosis, helping ease pain symptoms. It's care that is not just medical care. It's care that supports individuals and their families emotionally through the trajectory of their illness.

Our palliative care education and mentorship programs support the training of doctors, nurses and counsellors, providing them with the specialized skills to provide palliative care for patients like Kavitha in hospice care.

It’s this compassionate care that you support through Two Worlds Cancer Collaboration. Your support provides pain relief and helps build healthcare capacity.

From all of us at Two Worlds Cancer Collaboration – Thank you!

A little time and a smile from a healthcare provider can make a difference.

Palliative care is supportive care – it extends to all the family members including children. They are often in need of support as attention focuses on the family member needing pain relief or other medical care. Across the globe less than 14 percent who need it have access to palliative care. 

While the focus is understandably on the patient, young children often need support and an opportunity to share their feelings. Supportive care can include individual and family counselling,

It’s this compassionate care that you support through Two Worlds Cancer Collaboration.

You are helping ease the suffering of many in India in need of such essential care not just at end-of-life, but also through the trajectory of patients’ illnesses including all the family members.

Thank you from all of us at Two Worlds Cancer Collaboration, our partner organizations, and the families they care for!
