Palliative Care Volunteer Training

“Although the world is full of sufferings, it is also full of ways to alleviate suffering.”
This famous quote by ‘Helen Keller’ reminds us of the importance of ‘Palliative Care’. Every human being has the right to live with dignity and to die without pain and suffering. Palliative care mainly works towards that goal.
In defining palliative care, the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified initiatives that improve the quality of life of patients with terminal illnesses and their families by addressing their physical, psychosocial, and spiritual problems, preventing and alleviating suffering.
‘Dame Cecily Saunders’, the founder of the palliative movement, said, “You matter because you exist, you are a part of our reality. You matter until the last moment of life. Not just that you die peacefully but that you live peacefully until you die – we will do everything to do for that”.
