Dr. Kelle Brogan , the Visiting Palliative Care Specialist from University of Nevada, USA also donated 1000 American Dollars to Sparsh Hospice.
Speaking on the occasion, His Holiness Chinna Jeeyar Swamy urged citizens to leave all those acquired on this earth including their organs. Don’t bury or burn your organs. Donate your organs like heart, liver, pancreas, eyes etc. Once you breath last you don’t need them any more, he said.
It doesn’t matter how long you lived. But, it matters is how well you lived. While live, be helpful to others. God will help those who help fellow human beings, he said. He appreciated the Sparsh Hospice team for the wonderful care they have been extending to the terminally ill patients.
Speaking further he added that health of women is more important. We live in women centered society. Once, a woman in the family is ill, the whole family suffers. But, that is not the case with the man, he said. He explained how Vikas Tharangini, a NGO has been providing health care to women. It has reached out to 3,36,000 women in 169 villages, he said.
He also told palliative care specialists to explore other alternative streams of medicine like Homeopathy and Ayurveda in a palliative care.
