The Palliative Care movement in the district is set to get a boost with the members of the Kudumbashree offering their helping hand. The Health and Family Welfare department, in association with the Kudumbashree, will launch a campaign to strengthen palliative care from Sunday.
The campaign named ‘Njanundu Paricharanathinu’, meaning ‘I am there for care’, will involve special neighbourhood meetings in all panchayats and a special awareness drive.
The Kudumbashree in the district had already begun associating with the Palliative Care movement in a project named Hridya.
