Indian philosophy affirms life and regards dying as a natural process, that should be neither hastened, nor prolonged, that can be met with richness of spirit. Hospice service makes it possible to live and die with dignity.
An ideal contemporary hospice offers a comprehensive care programme for patients facing life threatening or terminal illness and therby giving comfort to their families.
Santhitheeram Charitable Trust was born on 27-02-2001 to cater to such considerations for those unfortunate elderly sick persons who are left alone in their homes. Santhitheeram is located in a serene village, Kuttur, Thrissur, Kerala.
