Palliative care in Jalandhar, with compassion at the centre
Serious illness changes life for the whole family. Pain, fear, exhaustion and unanswered questions can make each day harder. Palliative care exists to ease that burden. It focuses on comfort, dignity and quality of life for patients, and on support for the people who love them.
Amrit Caregivers NGO is a non-profit based in New Model Town, Jalandhar. Our main work is palliative care. Trained caregivers and volunteers visit patients, guide families on comfort care, offer a listening ear and connect people with doctors and hospitals when needed.
We also run caregiver training, elderly care, medical camps and awareness drives, because strong communities are the best support for people who are ill.
