Our philosophy for palliative care goes beyond cure - it is about managing symptoms and supporting the individual and their family as a whole.
We are committed to making palliative care accessible in the environment that best meets the needs of each patient and their family. Our services are provided across three key settings:
Personalized care delivered in a serene, community-focused environment that honours each patient’s dignity—“known by name, not by number.”
Compassionate care provided in the comfort of a patient's home, offering dignity, support, and comfort where it matters most.
Comprehensive outpatient care combining medical treatment, emotional support, and tailored therapies.
Established in 1997, the Cipla Palliative Care and Training Centre is among India’s early dedicated palliative care centres committed to improving the quality of life of patients and families affected by cancer and its adversities. Built on Cipla’s ethos of Caring for Life, the Centre has evolved over nearly three decades into a trusted institution for clinical care, training, advocacy, and community engagement in palliative care.
Over 28,000 patients have been supported by the Centre as of 31 March 2026. The 49-bedded inpatient facility is thoughtfully designed to create a calm and healing environment, fostering peace, connection, and personalized support for patients and caregivers alike.
At the heart of the Centre’s philosophy is a multidisciplinary approach that brings together palliative care physicians, nurses, social workers, counsellors, nutritionists, physiotherapists, psychologists, volunteers, and support teams to address physical, emotional, psychosocial, and spiritual needs. Families and caregivers are actively involved in care planning and are supported through guidance, counselling, and bereavement support.
The Centre delivers a continuum of care through inpatient, outpatient, and partner-supported home-based care, enabling patients to access palliative care services at different stages of illness and in their preferred setting.
Today, the Centre continues to build on this legacy by integrating evolving healthcare practices with the core values of empathy, dignity, and holistic care that define palliative care.
With the goal of making palliative care accessible to all, we work with organisations across India to strengthen the ecosystem and deepen understanding of palliative care. Through these partnerships, we help expand services—from OPD and IPD care to home visits and virtual consultations, ensuring compassionate support reaches patients and families wherever they are.

Illness often enters a family quietly at first. A new routine here, a hospital visit there, and suddenly life feels heavier than it used to. Patients and caregivers alike often find themselves with more questions than answers.
