Dr. Amrita Shrestha emphasises the irreplaceable role of human connection in palliative care. True care goes beyond treatment; it's about empathy, presence, and addressing all aspects of a patient's needs. Technology alone isn’t enough; people make the difference. #PalliativeCare #UKAidMatch

A fall from scaffolding at 17 changed Ramesh's life. With no doctors, delayed surgery, and poor rehab, he was left hopeless. His mother, Lakshmi, is his main carer. Thanks to Sunita, visits from community nurses and support from Green Pastures Hospital bring care and remove isolation #PalliativeCare
