Comment by Swami Saradananda on April 11, 2011 at 5:53pm: The road to the Ganga Prem Hospice site in Raiwala is still a mud road. Villagers have been demanding that the state govenment ( state of Uttarakhand) pave the road. A procession and a protest fast last week by the villagers led the administration to promise swift action.

It is a five kilometre long stretch. Now the state govt said that Rs 170 lacs have been sacntioned for the road and the building will start within 2 months. This is very good news for us.

Comment by Swami Saradananda on April 10, 2011 at 5:31pm: The first Indian Palliative Care Initiative Conference, organised by the US-based Jiv Daya Foundation and Indo-American Cancer Association, took place in Delhi on the 13th of March, where eighteen organisations, hospitals, and cancer centres from across the country got together to share with each other the problems they faced in reaching palliative care to patients.read more

Comment by Swami Saradananda on January 7, 2011 at 12:36pm: Ganga Prem Hospice Medical Director, Dr AK Dewan, saw 63 patients at the December cancer clinic in Rishikesh. The clinic ran for more than two hours beyond the scheduled time as Dr Dewan gave full attention and care to the many seriously ill patients who attended the clinic. He even saw 2 patients in the Hospice ambulance as they were not well enough to come into the consulting room. There were a number of new volunteers and also help in kind such as warm clothing for the poorer patients.
