Reaching out....

The first hospice of its genre in India to offer patients the flexibility of alternating between the hospice and their home, Karunashraya helps patients live without pain, and in dignity and peace, till their journey's end. We have been offering in-patient care since 1999 and home care since 1995, tending to over 17,000 patients and touching the lives of their families by providing a supportive environment. If you or someone you deeply care for has been diagnosed with advanced stage cancer, we will be able to offer you constant care and comfort, relief from pain, and counselling to alleviate distress.

If you are not a patient or a loved one of a patient but are passionate about supporting our mission as a volunteer, donor, medical fraternity member; or want to know about the education we offer to less privileged girls to become health assistants in palliative care or to those aspiring to do further education in palliative care, you are in the right place.

" Karunashraya's effort to alleviate the suffering of its patients is commendable. Since inception, the team has touched the lives of thousands of people, helping those who are most in need of care. I am deeply appreciative of the Trust's efforts in providing dignity to life when there is little else "left and I hope more people will step forward to lend their support.

have come to resort to feeliI
spend my holidays rather than a care -taking institution or hospital. Sometimes, I really forget that I am a cancer patient. The staff at Karunashraya try to fulfill even the minutest desire of patients... I am indeed blessed to spend some valuable time of my life at Karunashraya"
