Summary

THE JIMMY S BILIMORIA FOUNDATION is a new charity set up in memory of Jimmy S Bilimoria, who passed away on May 3, 2013 after a prolonged battle with cancer. During his last few months, it became obvious to him and his family that patients like him are in dire need of palliative care at home, where they can be taken care of by trained medical personnel, and so that they are not left in pain and great discomfort if they decide to stay at home or otherwise strapped to a hospital bed, without loved ones around them. While there are palliative care facilities across the country, their numbers are grossly inadequate to cater to the vast number of patients in need of such care, with the exception of Kerala, where too it is in the most part a community run service. In Mumbai, apart from Tata Memorial Centre and a handful of other institutes that have recently come into existence, palliative care is almost unheard of. CanSupport in Delhi is an exceptional home care service. Shanti Avedna in
