- Abstract
An editorial is presented about the status of palliative care in India. It says that the palliative care specialty remains underdeveloped, with not enough trained practitioners to meet the growing demand for such services, and offers recommendations for addressing the problem. Topics include access to pain medication, the need for accreditation standards for training programs, and the timing of when palliative care options are introduced to patients.
