Our Work
SOUL PALLIATIVE CAREPalliative Care
Palliative care is specialised medical care for people with serious illnesses. Soul Palliative Care focuses on providing patients with relief from their symptoms, pain, and suffering. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for both the patient and their family—no matter what the diagnosis. We have been providing palliative care services to patients in four districts of Tamil Nadu through our multidisciplinary team since 2017. We have also collaborated with the National Health Mission of Tamil Nadu, Trivandrum Institute of Palliative Sciences (WHO Collaborating Centre for Training and Policy on Access to Pain Relief) and the District Administration of Chengalpattu in capacity building and advocacy efforts to integrate palliative care into the health system of Tamil Nadu. We have trained about 100 healthcare professionals and volunteers. But we know this is just a drop in the ocean!
Blood Donation Camp
We know the value of blood as the scarcity of blood is becoming terrible nowadays. Patients of severe accidents experience the urgency of blood. Donating blood is noble work. Life can be saved by donating blood and It is also beneficial for the donor’s health. We organize blood donation camps each year. We make people aware of the importance of donating blood and convince them to make them donate their blood and make a living out of risk.
Hair Donation Camp
It is sad that cancer patients face a big problem with their hair while continuing their treatment. They lose their hair. They lose their beauty and their confidence too. We arrange hair donation camps where people can donate their hair so that wigs can be made from it for the patients who lost hair to cancer.
Home Care services
We provide home care services to patients in needs, our home care includes doctor-nurse visits, physiotherapy, supply of medicines and assistive devices, supply of food kits, educational support for children, facilitating vocational training and rehabilitation support depending on patients’ need. We have travelled to more than 30 villages in and around Chennai, and cared for more than 500 patients and their families.
Volunteer Training & Eligibility Examinations
We never compromise on the quality of service delivered to our patients. Hence, every volunteer at Soul is required to undergo training in Palliative care services and tested with periodical examinations so that they are appropriately equipped with the knowledge and skills to deliver top-notch services to our patients and their families
