Amrita Kripa Sagar Cancer Hospice
 |
A hospice is an institution where specialised
care for the terminally ill is provided in an
atmosphere of love and compassion. In a society
where only a handful can afford the high cost
of treatment and personal care, |
the majority of terminally ill
patients are considered a burden by both family
and society. These individuals often undergo
intense physical and psychological suffering
and are left to die a death lacking in dignity. |
In 1995, Dr. P.C. Alexander, Governor of Maharashtra
inaugurated the Amrita Kripa Sagar Hospice near
Mumbai, only the third such institution of its
kind in the country. The special significance
of Amrita Kripa Sagar is the spiritual solace
and atmosphere of love and compassion it provides
to all resident patients. |
|
Amrita Kripa Sagar Hospice consists of a main building
with accommodations for 50 patients, medical facilities
to relieve pain and lessen the suffering, kitchen,
meditation and prayer hall, residential quarters for
in-house medical and nursing staff, mortuary and crematory.
