"Over 1.5 lakh patients have registered on the state's Palliative Care Grid platform. This places the need for more volunteers trained in palliative care. Many individuals have come forward to join the initiative. We have also asked existing volunteers to register on the portal. The health department and care units will organise a three-day training programme for new volunteers. Better awareness about palliative care and its significance has helped. Currently, we have more than 8,300 volunteers and 1,108 NGOs who have signed in," said Dr Mathews Numpeli, medical officer for the project.
