Ep 12. The "RIGHT" to Palliative Care with Dr. Vidya Viswanath

As per the WHO, Palliative care is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients (adults and children) and their families who are facing problems associated with a life-threatening illness.
The need for palliative care has never been greater. Non-communicable diseases like cancer are on the rise. At present, in India, we have around 30 lakh people with cancer at any given time. Of these, 75-80 percent come with advanced disease and half of them die within a year. Yet no more than 2 percent receive palliative care because of the paucity of services.
To share more insights, I invited Dr. Vidya, a well-respected physician in the field of Palliative Care as the guest on my show today.
