Summary:
“We invited Dr Rajagopal to clear our misconceptions about palliative care and tell us how to implement it,” said Dr T Balaji, Managing Trustee of CCF. I have to interview him about palliative care and I am mortified at the emotions that have caught me unawares. He has also helped create the National Programme for Palliative Care by the Ministry of Health of Government of India. Not for nothing is this Gandhian and Padma Shri awardee called the father of palliative care. India is somewhere at the bottom in the list of countries that have quality health care..
