If you or someone close to you is affected by cancer, you will know the pain and distress caused by the disease. But are you among those who also know that it is possible to reduce the pain, restore dignity and improve quality of life, in whatever stage the cancer may be, through palliative care?
Thousands of people like you in 70 countries across the globe will celebrate World Palliative Care Day, October 9, 2010. Like you, they are keen to “share the care” by learning or telling others about palliative care. As you may know, we have the CIPLA Palliative Care and Training Care in Pune, which has already cared for more than 6700 cancer patients and their families. Every year on the occasion of World Palliative Care Day, Cipla Centre organizes various awareness programs.
This year, we need your support to make this campaign really work. Please join us for a “Walk for Palliative Care” on October 9, starting from Shivajinagar railway station at 7 a.m. and ending at Shaniwarwada around 9 a.m. The few steps you take with hundreds of others for the cause of palliative care will help us quickly spread the message to many that there is no need to suffer pain, when there is palliative care.
Please write to me on srivasaa2000@yahoo.com for confirmation or call Fatima Lilani on 9890883163 / Madhura on 9423009557 for more information.
