Srimatha Cancer Care

Hospice is a project that has the objective to give relief to sick persons for whom the medical fraternity offers no scope for containing or curing the disease that has taken advanced stage in the patient. In the city of Chennai to our knowledge free palliative care centres do not exist for providing asylum to such terminally ill, discarded poor cancer patients. Such patients need and deserve better personal attention in the form of pain management, quality and nutritional food in addition to an emotional support. These patients do not have long duration to survive and their end is imminent may be by few weeks or few months.
