My Nonprofit Reviews

International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care Inc is truly a Global Organisation doing a wonderful yeomen service and vows to improve the Quality of Life of the terminally ill as well as those who suffer in agonising pain and distressing symptoms often cursing themselves for non of their sins. IAHPC is working on multiple domains such as Awareness, Advocacy, Education, Empowerment and Grooming the Palliative Care Professionals of all levels Internationally.
I am recipient of it LEAD Grant India through Cancer Aid Society towards "National Program on Palliative Care Advocacy & Awareness". The Grant has enabled me to work across the Country on Palliative Care awareness and advocacy in Collaboration with National Association of Palliative Care for AYUSH & Integrative Medicine. The Palliative Care Declaration prepared under the Grant has been endorsed by thousands of people from all corners of the Country.
My heartfelt thanks to the IAHPC for the LEAD Grant.

NAPCAIM is the only Organization of the Country which is empowering AYUSH Professionals in Palliative Care and Interventions across India.

I am highly impressed with the functioning of IAHPC which is trying to address a very noble cause of relieving the sufferings of the terminally ill patients of Cancer & other chronic illnesses; that too Globally. The Scholarships provided to the palliative care professionals helps in exchange of knowledge facilitating the transfer of the best practices throughout the World.
My best wishes to IAHPC inall future endeavours.
Keep up the Good work.

The organisation has represented the Country in the Review Meeting on Non Communicable Diseases held at United Nations Headquarters in New York on July 10th and 11th 2014.

Cancer Aid Society has indeed been a leader in the fight against Tobacco, Cancer and the Non Communicable Diseases since 1987.

It was a proud moment for us to get Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations Organisation in 2012.
Cancer Aid Society waged a war against Cancer and Non Communicable Diseases in 1987 and now after two and a half decades they are being perceived as global threats. This speaks volumes about the eagle's eye Vision of the organisation.
It has made substantial dent in India against Tobacco, Cancer, NCDs and Palliative Care.
Thank you all for the everlasting support.
