A group of Britishers of Kerala origin get together in London frequently. Their organisation named “Kala” (meaning “art”) was founded and is presided over by Dr P.K.Sukumaran Nair, a paediatrician. Dr Nair is also the founder of “Pallium Kulasekharam”, an initiative that he set up in his birthplace in Tamil Nadu. Pallium India is their fellow traveller.

Pallium India was privileged to be a part of their meeting in London on 20 July 2019, chaired by Dr Parvathi Nair. The meeting discussed the current status of healthcare in India and how palliative care could bring in compassion into it. This group has been supporting palliative care in Kulasekharam for many years now.
