Please help bring some comfort and colour into the lives of patients with life limiting diseases and to their families.
Let's brighten up their environment and make it lively, the dull walls in the new palliative care unit cannot possibly do any good for anyone's mood.
Help us raise as much as we can to renovate the Hospice more comfortable for our fellow patients.
Patients that come to our institution in Trivandrum are a few of the many in India who are suffering from terrible pain and distress due to diseases such as cancer, paralysis or other debilitating conditions. Palliative care aims to treat the symptoms and also provide emotional, social and spiritual support. No one should be left to suffer without support and proper medical care.
Pallium India is working to establish and provide palliative care to people throughout India, allowing them to live with dignity and supporting those that care for them.

Our facility in Trivandrum is a hospice, where patients whose symptoms cannot be managed at home or those approaching the end of their lives come for care and support. It also houses patients undergoing rehabilitation from spinal cord injuries, patients who lost the ability to walk or use their arms. Here they can stay, have physiotherapy and learn new skills to help them change their lives. We also have an out-patient department to see the many people living in the community with long term problems. The current hospice is far away from the city limits with less transportation facility, this is worrying the patients and their family members. Most of the patients who are using our inpatient facility are been referred from Govt medical colleges or from the suburban regions and the inaccessibility is troubling the patients to reach out to the facility. Ours is the one and only free facility for admitting palliative care patients in the city and the poor patients highly depends on us.
Now we have identified a facility accessible to the patients of Medical college and those referred from other centers, this facility is in the highway and have good public transport facility. It is an old hospital which stopped functioning for years and in dilapidated condition. We wish to renovate and make this facility a beautiful home for our patients and their families. Once it is renovated, this facility can deliver palliative care to around 5000 patients a year.

We are asking YOU to kindly donate to help us renovate and re-decorate this facility and brighten up the days for all our patients. This will make a huge difference to the wellbeing of all our patients and make our staff happy to work in a colorful environment.
