Palliative Care, whether it is practiced in hospital, community, or hospice is a patient and family centered approach which makes use of the different skills of palliative care team. Team needs to include family members as well as health care professionals. Millions of people in India with advanced life threatening illnesses such as advanced cancer, advanced HIV/AIDS, advanced organ failures (long standing heart failure, chronic respiratory illness etc.) and with other advanced illnesses are dying with needless pain and suffering. In India cure, has become synonymous with care and those patients who are no more curable receive no care at all or receive inappropriate medical care and interventions which makes the lives of these patients a living hell. Home based palliative care is extending the scope of palliative care at the place of residence of the patient. In India and other third world countries where Hospices are very less compared to the population of such patients home based Palliative Care provides a perfect solution.
