In Kerala, trained community volunteers, backed by nurses and doctors, provide most home palliative care to the dying. The model reaches more people at lower cost than any clinic-based service and could be copied.
The Neighbourhood Network in Palliative Care in Kerala trains community volunteers to identify patients, provide social and basic nursing support, and link to professional teams, with local government funding and a state palliative care policy. Coverage is far higher than elsewhere in India. Adapting this community-owned model in other states and countries requires local ownership, a light professional backbone, and reliable morphine supply rather than large budgets.
