End of Life Care International is a non-profit, charitable organization whose main focus is to raise funds, research hospices and distribute grants.
ELCI's first international hospice support projects are in India. Though
Every human being should have the right to die with dignity and with as little distress as possible. In India, however, this is not yet possible for a very large number of cancer patients, because supportive care is totally unavailable for many people who are terminally ill and in the last stages of their lives.
The concept of hospice care is well established in the West but in India, where end of life care is so desperately needed, it is almost unheard of.
Bringing hospice support to India will provide hospice care to terminally ill patients through personal and caring services to both patients and their loved ones. Hospice support provides information, medicines, comfort and basic care at a critical time, both through in-patient facilities and also through home care programs.
Most importantly, this support offers the possibility of a dignified death with the minimum possible distress.
