Purpose: Health
Aim/Objective/Mission: There are times, when despite our
best efforts and all the modern advances in medicine,
we have to admit that we have nothing more to offer Terminal
Cancer Patients. Many people die in absolute misery, completely
deprived of basic facilities, very often in great pain
and not infrequently without the barest of dignity. In
India, the entire medical system is groaning under the
weight of sheer numbers so what is to happen to these
wretched patients? Where should they be left to die? Should
an overworked doctor and a crowded hospital merely discharge
these persons, literally abandon them, and move on to
other lives which have hope of being saved? These are
questions that should and must concern any right-thinking
person. And a little thought will reveal that the answer
lies not in an automatic negation of love and care, but
at the heart of Hospice Care: There maybe a limit for
cure but there is no limit for care. We started with the
hope that one day we would be able to contribute our mite
to giving back to a miserable human being the dignity
he is entitled to by birth, the freedom from pain, the
basic comfort of a clean bed, and above all, the love
and caring of compassionate hands. We have succeeded to
a very large extent, but we need more help from those
who care for the dying. |
