| Alleviation Of Pain & Human Suffering - Our Endeavour |
| Care India Medical Society is a unique public charitable trust incorporated in Pune in February 1993 with objects of bringing public awareness on cancer, early detection, and providing palliative care to the advanced stage cancer patients at home.
Over the last 18 years we have established the following institutions to achieve the objectives of the Trust:

SATSEVA (Patient Outreach Program)
|
| Care India Medical Society started SATSEVA in December 1994 to outreach the needy, advanced stage cancer patients in Pune City. It was a pioneering effort in palliative care in providing “home care” in India. The services include pain management, symptom control, providing supportive care equipment and the much-needed emotional and psychological support to the patients as well as their family members. This type of effort is perhaps first of its kind in India. |
