<h1>Free palliative care initiative expands access via a university-linked hospice integrating hospice, respite services, and training programs.</h1> A university-affiliated 100-bed hospice and respite centre provides free palliative care and respite services for cancer and non-cancer conditions, offering comprehensive pain and symptom management, nursing, rehabilitation, wound and stoma care, dignity therapy, bereavement support, and family empowerment. The centre is attached to a teaching hospital and medical college to integrate specialist training and multidisciplinary education, and uses telehealth to extend access beyond the campus while operating on philanthropic funding without patient charges.
