Amritsar, October 17

Sri Guru Ram Das University of Health Sciences organised an event to mark World Hospice and Palliative Care Day (October 14) at the rural health and training centre. Speaking on the occasion, health experts said that palliative care should reach common people and communities through primary and community health centres.

Dr Manisha Chawla said that there is a huge demand for palliative care in India, but there is less accessibility due to lack of awareness and failure to reach communities. Dr Pooja Sadana, Dr Paramjot Bindra, Dr Cheenam Bhatia and Dr Mohita Gupta also spoke on various aspects of palliative care on the occasion.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
