Mangalore, August 3: A one-day workshop on Palliative Care was organised by the Department of Oncology and Nursing Service at Father Muller Medical College (FMMC) here on Wednesday.

Inaugurating the program Dr. N S Channappa Gowda, Deputy Commissioner, Dakshin Kannada District, lamented the commercialisation of medical education.

He expressed fear that the persistence of such a trend might reduce the sense of service among young doctors.

Congratulated the Administration of FMMC for initiating Palliative Care and serving the needy, Mr Gowda said: "People suffer from a variety of diseases and all cannot be cured. The service provided to a person at the verge of death is truly noble."

Fr. Richard Coelho, Administrator, Father Muller Medical College and Hospital (FMMCH), in his presidential address recalled the services of Mother Teresa and opined that she can be considered as the founder of Palliative care.

Palliative care strives to relieve the physical and psychological agony undergone by the patients and their kith and kin. It affirms life and death as a normal process, he said.

Dr. Laveena Noronha, Director, Ave Maria Palliative Care Unit, Vamanjoor, Fr. Denis D'Sa, Director Incharge, FMMC, Dr. J P Alva, Dean, FMMC, Sr Aileen Mathias, Nursing Superintendent, FMMCH were present among the others.
