Karunyavarsham Charitable Trust

The programme initiated in April 2011 with the provision of free meals to 20 individuals daily at the Government Hospital in Kalamassery has since expanded significantly, now serving 150,000 meals annually. With a kitchen established on hospital premises under District Administration approval, the initiative caters to patients and their companions without categorical restrictions, primarily assisting those from distant and disadvantaged backgrounds. The programme's longevity of eleven years, supported by the Government Medical College Hospital management, has proven invaluable to patients referred from distant locations, ensuring access to nutritious meals vital for recovery and sustenance.

The CAN-SAHAI initiative, operating since 2018, offers Integrated Home Care services to Cancer Patients in Ernakulam, collaborating with Government Hospitals. Initially partnered with Cochin Cancer Research Centre until 2021, it now focuses on Palliative Home Care for Cancer Patients within Cochin Municipal Corporation Limits, alongside the Government General Hospital. Trained staff nurses, volunteers, and doctors conduct bi-monthly home visits to offer nursing care, medical assistance, counselling, and other support services at no charge. With over 100 patient visits monthly, including emergency responses and occasional distribution of dry ration kits, CAN-SAHAI strives to alleviate the burden of cancer care for those in need.
