PAIN AND PALLIATIVE CLUB

We ‘Good Samaritan’, SAC Relief and Rescue Team, is here to hold hand and to save people who lives in jeopardy. We are a fervent and passionate group of staff, students of St. Antony’s College Peruvanthanam, committed to work and help the needy people.

Engaging students in palliative care has a duel advantage. One is that their energy can be utilized for the benefit of patients with chronic disease. Another is that, inculcating the spirit of care can have a positive effect on the attitude of students. With this idea, the Pain and Palliative Care started its students in Palliative care program.
