Library:
We have two libraries, one is reference library for Doctors, Nurses,
Students and volunteers in Palliative Medicine. It has 71 books on
different subjects of palliative medicine and treatment.
Our common library with nearly 1500 English / Malayalam books caters to
the reading enthusiasm of volunteers and handful of patients. Forty
volunteers are regular members of the library.
The collection is insufficient, and it will be a good gesture to
contribute books from your collection or the entire home library to us. |

Welfare Measures:
Majority of the patients who come for treatment in the OP are financially
backward. In several cases the sole earning member is the affected person
and the income of the family is reduced to nil. For them food packet comprising
10 kg rice is being given every month. There are more than 200 families who are
benefited by this. In deserving cases education assistance ranging from Rs.
500 to Rs. 2000 is also given to the children of the patients. Apart from
medicines, equipments like water bed, wheel chairs, crutches etc are also
supplied to the needy, free of cost. Efforts are also being made to
rehabilitate patients and their families by helping them to set up petty
shops or engaging them in self employment.

Reaching Out:
We are bringing out a Quarterly "Reaching Out" since 2001, to
reflect upon our activities, discuss vital issues on Palliative Care and give
creative expression of our volunteers. From Sept 2009, we have remodeled
the Quarterly to make it more readable and valuable.
In 2007, we brought out
our 10th
Annual Special, considered to be the one that gave space for a
creative dialogue on Pain, Suffering, Social ethos and Spirituality.
