Our palliative care team consisting of specially trained doctor, nurse, physiotherapist, psychiatrist and volunteers intervene meaningfully by rendering help in physical, mental, economic, social and spiritual problems of the patients. While the medical team tries to treat physical ailments, it solves only 20% of the patient’s problems, where as the 80% problems are solved by the dedicated volunteers. They supply food and medicine to families where the earning member is laid to illness. They regularly visit and talk to chronic and terminal patients who are virtually locked up in rooms and alienated from the society, thereby helping to lessen the impact of solitude. They also provide spiritual solace to patients. Our volunteers are always available to patients. There is little wonder that Melattur Palliative care society was adjudged as the best palliative clinic in the state. Malappuram has created a model for the whole world with many palliative care units working in the nook and corner of the district. The district which is described as backward in many sectors is the front runner in Kerala in extending care to the poor and needy, just because of the sincere efforts of palliative care units. People from different walks of life participate voluntarily in this humane movement. Students, workers, officers, teacher, housewives, retired people… we can see volunteers from any sector. What you need to become a volunteer is a mind of compassion to fellow human beings and readiness to help them. A volunteer can change the life of a poor patient and his family. Visits, counseling, donation, free food, subscription to the palliative care clinic, sponsoring etc are among the many ways of showing your caring mind. |
