We are excited to inform you that the IAPC has drawn on the theme of this year’s World Hospice and Palliative Care Day (WHPCD) ‘Leave no-one behind – equity in access to palliative care’, to put together a special feature with an update of the status of palliative care services from every state across the country.

The idea of this special feature is to generate awareness and facilitate a cross fertilisation of ideas on how palliative care is being delivered in different parts of the country, to encourage networking and collaborations to improve the overall momentum for palliative care across the country. With this feature, we also wish to draw your attention towards the inadequate integration of PC within the healthcare system and the subsequent inequity in access to PC. 

This humble effort of the IAPC, with immense support and cooperation from all the contributors will be launched on 9^th October, 2021.
