SNEHADHARA

COMPREHENSIVE AYURVEDIC PALLIATIVE CARE PROGRAMME- IMPLEMENTED BY INDIAN SYSTEMS OF MEDICINE DEPARTMENT

Introduction

Palliative care is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problem associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual.

The present scenario of Kerala is confined to nuclear family system, which eventually lead to negligence in proper care of bedridden patients by the family. Govt of Kerala is focusing their utmost attention in this social problem and taking necessary steps to give proper care to palliative group patients.
