Volunteering

Your time can make a difference!

Why we need Volunteers.

“There are many in the world dying for a piece of bread, but there are many more dying for a little love”

-Mother Teresa

With the increasing number of patients being diagnosed with debilitating and life limiting diseases, doctors and nurses are inadequate to handle care giving.

The need of the hour is volunteers and care givers to augment the services of healthcare professionals like doctors and nurses etc.  Not just that, the family (and particularly, the primary care giver), needs a lot of back up and support in many ways.

Upcoming Events

Connect us to set up a Blood Donation Drive/conduct an Awareness talk on Palliative Care at your place of work, residential community, social club, place of education etc.
