Palliative care is a multidisciplinary approach that focuses on relieving and preventing the suffering of patients. This holistic approach allows the palliative care team to address physical, emotional, spiritual and social concerns that arise with advanced illnesses.
Palliative care also improves quality of life for both the patient and the family. Alpha Palliative Care is the biggest of such charitable chains in India. Since 2005, Alpha has been providing palliative care to tens of thousands of patients in the four districts of central Kerala in South India.
Dubai-based Rashid Centre for the Disabled that provides high-quality, integrated education services and therapies for children with special needs, has grown to become the most successful humanitarian organization in the region. It strives to bring children with special needs to the main stream of society by developing them as much independent as possible. Under the slogan “Touching Life, Beyond Borders”, Alpha Palliative Care joined hands with Rashid Centre for the Disabled to provide patients with relief from the symptoms, pain and stress of serious illnesses.
The two centers jointly organized a meeting of minds at the Dubai World Trade Centre on June 20, 2014 to share the suffering of the sick. Renowned Indian classical dancer and world-famous choreographer Mallika Sarabhai, who is also a social activist and director of the Darpana Academy of Performing Arts, presented a mesmerizing show to make the evening a memorable event.
The enthusiasm and the spirit, with which the children performed, overwhelmed the audience and was evidence of the amazing work of the teams at Rashid Centre for the Disabled and Alpha. It was indeed a proud moment for CSS Group as one of the table sponsors of the event to continually build upon its CSR initiatives within the community and to contribute to support the under privileged that benefit from this organization.
