On Tuesday, 3 October 2023, CanSupport held a music concert by Padma Shri awarded Shubha Mudgal to celebrate World Hospice & Palliative Care Day at Baha’I House of Worship.
The concert was attended by more than 450 people that included representatives from corporates, distinguished citizens from different fields, students and medical professionals and 40 cancer patients in our care.
Harmala Gupta, Founder-President of CanSupport thanked the audience and supporters for being associated with CanSupport.
The Chief Guest at the event was Dr Vinod Kumar Paul, a member of NITI Aayog where he leads the Health, Nutrition and HRD verticals. In his address he congratulated CanSupport for its brilliant work over the last 27 years and said that the way forward is to truly make palliative care part and parcel of our public health care system, which will ride on comprehensive palliative care system paradigm built on health care centres.
A special Souvenir and CanSupport’s latest publication, a book titled ‘Guidelines for Home Based Palliative Care & Outpatient Palliative Care Teams’ were also released at the event.
The event was a huge success and lived up to the theme of Compassionate Communities: Together for Palliative Care by bringing people of the community together in support of palliative care.
