Prof. Devi Vijay from @IIM_Calcutta delivered a thought-provoking keynote speech titled “Frontiers of Abandonment, Frontiers of Care.”
A compelling call to rethink how palliative care is delivered and how 400+ community-based organisations in Kerala have formed to bridge the gap, reminded us that 'bottom-up' infrastructure in healthcare has become a necessity.
Her insights challenged us to reflect on the complexities of care, the power dynamics at play, and the urgent need to address systemic abandonment.

On corporate publishers and academic paywalls that block scientific knowledge production and dissemination. Towards reclaiming a Knowledge as Commons imagination. @MSF@MSFSouthAsiaGD#medicine@the_hindu
Not every doctor needs to know how to conduct research but every doctor needs to know how to read & interpret research and differentiate bad from good research. The mandatory thesis model of post-graduate education currently fails to teach both.

Everyone deserves a dignified peaceful passing. Despite being a part of Right to life and also Right to health, peaceful death and palliative care are accessible to only a few in India.

Before I started reporting, I was expecting to listen to stories of great grief. But the network of palliative care givers in Kerala, are always smiling. They feel fortunate to be able to help people live without pain, to hold the hands of the dying.
