Expand palliative care for ill, elderly
The New Indian Express Tirupati
|August 22, 2025
Noting that India has rolled out the National Programme for Palliative Care (NPPC) under the National Health Mission (NHM), a parliamentary committee has recommended expanding supportive care to reach the maximum number of people, as the ageing population is steadily increasing, along with the prevalence of chronic illnesses.
The panel highlighted the importance of tracking the efficacy of palliative care interventions and recommended introduction of robust outcome indicators to assess the impact of NPPC on patients' lives.
Following deliberations over a petition which sought making cancer treatment affordable and widely available, the 163rd Report of the Committee on Petitions, Rajya Sabha, advocated for wider palliative care measures for patient relief. "Collectively, these measures will help establish a cancer care ecosystem that is data-driven, patient-centric, and outcome-oriented," the report said.

So You Think You are an Empath?
In this epoch of information overload, we watch a thousand crises unfold every day, where the sacred mixes with the profane at top speed, where the latest war updates are followed in quick succession by clips on how to wear a mekhela chador the proper way, how to make naan on an overturned tawa, what Ji Chang Wook said at the Gucci launch. This is popcorn for the brain, a topic I have addressed in an earlier column; we ingest everything, gulp it down, then move quickly on to the next snippet. Who really has the time to linger?
