OVERVIEW
|
CanSupport provides palliative care to cancer patients living in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) of India.

| Palliative Care helps people facing a life limiting condition such as cancer to be free of avoidable pain and suffering, to maintain their personal dignity and independence and to be emotionally and socially comfortable. Palliative Care is not about helping someone to die, rather, it is helping them to live to the fullest despite their situation. |
