Hi everyone, I just stumbled upon an excellent overview of palliative care services currently available in all of India. It mentions the Neighbourhood Network in Palliative Care, Kerala which we have referred to many time before and who have assisted Joseph & HREASED.
The link is here http://www.eolc-observatory.net/global_analysis/india_case_studies.htm but I have also created the content in a Word document (see attached).

In regards to the medical home care programme we can learn a lot from other organisations who have set up similar programmes. Why reinvent the wheel??

Hi everyone, sorry i have not posted for a few weeks- I've been off sick with the dreaded Flu!
I a now researching and re-investigating some of the organisations which were mentioned in previous posts to see if there are ways in which we can link up with them.

I came across a great government website that had a lot of useful info on it: http://arogyakeralam.gov.in/

In 2008 arogya keralam project was implemented by Institute of Palliative Medicine.

The project aims to
1) Identify patients in need
2) Offer guidance for appropriate treatment

Joseph not sure if you have read this document- it's worth getting familiar with. I will take a good look at it too.
It is the official State of Kerala Palliative Care Policy document.
