Programs
Bangalore Hospice Trust: Karunashraya, a joint project of the Indian Cancer Society (Karnataka Chapter) and Rotary Bangalore Indiranagar, provides free professional palliative care for advanced-stage cancer patients. The NGO operates on the principle of providing compassionate care that neither hastens nor postpones death. The mission focuses on offering holistic in-patient and home-based care, continuously improving through research and innovation, and advocating for palliative care.
Major Interventions:
In-Patient Care: Karunashraya operates an in-patient facility that provides a home-like atmosphere for patients. The team of doctors, nurses, counselors, and volunteers focuses on alleviating pain and managing symptoms to improve the patient's quality of life. The care encompasses physical, psychological, and spiritual support, enabling patients to find peace and dignity during their final days. The facility is equipped to handle complex medical needs while maintaining a comfortable and peaceful environment.
Home Care Services: It extends the NGO's compassionate care directly to patients' homes. Teams of nurses, counselors, and social workers visit patients to provide necessary palliative care, which includes pain management and counseling for both the patient and their family. This service allows patients to receive care in a familiar and comforting environment, reducing the need for hospitalization and supporting family caregivers. The program is designed to be flexible, allowing patients to alternate between home care and the inpatient facility as their needs change.
Education and Research: Karunashraya Institute for Palliative Care Education and Research (KIPCER) is the arm of the organization dedicated to advancing the field of palliative care. It conducts various training and education programs for healthcare professionals. KIPCER collaborates with other institutions to foster research and enhance the quality of palliative care provided. Additionally, the trust operates a free training program for young women from underprivileged backgrounds, enabling them to become nursing aides and acquire vocational skills, as well as gain employment opportunities.
