EXPANDING CONVERSATIONS ON PALLIATIVE CARE

August was a meaningful month for Karunashraya as our team participated in two significant events in Bengaluru.

At the Best of Conference, our counsellor joined an engaging panel on Onco-Palliation alongside leading experts. The discussions brought together medical, legal, psychosocial, and ethical perspectives on supporting patients and families during some of the most complex transitions in cancer care.

We were also privileged to be part of Good to Go – India’s first . This unique platform created space for dialogue on advance care planning, medical directives, grief, loss, and the importance of dignified end-of-life care.

At Karunashraya, we believe that palliative care is not only about treatment—it is about awareness, conversations, and community support. Platforms like these strengthen our resolve to take palliative care to more people, ensuring compassion and dignity at every stage of life’s journey.
