Samraksh

Samraksha believes in the right of every individual to a life without pain and to dignity in life and in death. We are working in partnership with local health systems to improve access to palliative care services. Samraksha aims to provide holistic services which will address the physical, emotional and social dimensions of pain for people with life threatening or life limiting illnesses. Samraksha is also involved in capacity building, specially in the area of Palliative Care. The centre organizes seminars and training programmes for doctors, nurses and other paramedical staff on Palliative Care. It also trains care volunteers to be the first point of support for people affected by HIV in the community.
