Sister Sofi, of Shanti
Avedna Sadan, Delhi with a cancer patient in Sir Soba Singh Dharamshala while on a visit to Delhi State Cancer Institute(DSCI)
on 8th July 2012 along with DNipCare volunteers. Hospital for curative
option, Hospice and Home care for Palliative protocol are the integral parts of
public health management especially for the debilitating long term, bedridden,
terminally ill patients. Both DSCI and Shanti Avedna are playing their
roles wonderfully in mitigating the pain of suffering patients.
But when will the community realize their responsibility and rise to the
occasion to provide some solace to their fellow beings in the most critical
time of illness? Or when will the Government understand their role in
integration of Hospital Care, Palliative Hospice and Home Care for the benefit
of these patients? Should the celebrities need to wait till their near
and dear or themselves face the sufferings to wake up and propagate care for
hapless patients?
