About

  • Headquarters

    Chennai, Tamil Nadu

  • Since

    1998

Impact

Since inception in 1998, our teams of doctors and nurses have reached out to 18,464 patients (Adults, Children & the Elderly) as on 30 November 2023 through 79,326 Outpatient Services and 68,723 Home Care visits; 14,490 have been Cancer patients. In our Paediatric Palliative Care Project, we have treated 3,635 children between the ages 0 to 12 years of whom 2,299 have been afflicted by Cancer. Currently, approx. 969 patients are under our care. About 85% of our patients are from very low socioeconomic backgrounds; unable to cope with the negative impacts of adverse health events, and 50% are geriatric patients. • Increased awareness of this service created through Volunteers/Opinion Leaders • Comprehensive & quality Palliative Care Services made available to patients at home • Families helped with crucial decisions about traditional healers and stigma • Families save money due to Home visits and by not carrying out unnecessary tests and hospital admissions. • Reduction of anxiety, confusion and helplessness due to patient listening & reassurance of support provided by the team at the doorstep “Living And Dying In Pain: It Doesn't Have To Happen”. DEAN Foundation envisages a community where every individual will have access to Medical Care and a dignified and pain free end.
