Description
Deepak Sudhakaran and co-authors describe a community palliative care framework built for settings with few resources. Palliative care eases physical, mental, social, and spiritual suffering in life-limiting illness. In India, only a small share of those who need such care receive it.
The PALLIUM framework comes from Pallium India, a leading non-profit in the field. A modified Delphi process shaped it through rounds of team input. Clinical and non-clinical staff joined expert talks to reach consensus. The model gives a flowchart for judging who qualifies for care. It then sets care pathways and links social support to treatment. The case report shows how holistic care can run outside hospitals.
