The rapid dynamics of the world bring about changes in all aspects of the life of human beings. These dynamics hence call for the need for research and development in the field of the betterment of the life of a human. Palliative care for the patient in need is a field that drastically affects human life and can provide an ethical and more humanitarian way to live. The main objective of this article is to examine the Indian system of palliative care's organizational structure, roles, and applicability in India. By reading various research articles on the internet, mainly PubMed and Google Scholar, we collected enough information on the palliative care facilities in India. After going through the research articles and thorough discussion, it comes to the knowledge that India's existing palliative care facilities are lacking behind the rest of the world. However, some states have better approaches and facilities, but overall research suggests the need for more development in the field of palliative care even more. India needs a systematic approach to improving palliative care. These improvements include increasing the workforce, better application of policies, good political support, and educating health care workers and patients requiring palliative treatment.
世界的快速发展给人类生活的方方面面带来了变化。因此，这些发展态势要求在改善人类生活领域开展研发工作。为有需要的患者提供姑息治疗是一个对人类生活有重大影响的领域，它能提供一种符合伦理且更具人道主义的生活方式。本文的主要目的是审视印度姑息治疗体系的组织结构、作用及其在印度的适用性。通过阅读互联网上的各种研究文章，主要是在PubMed和谷歌学术上搜索，我们收集了关于印度姑息治疗设施的足够信息。在研读了这些研究文章并进行深入讨论后，我们了解到印度现有的姑息治疗设施落后于世界其他地区。然而，一些邦有更好的方法和设施，但总体研究表明，姑息治疗领域仍亟需进一步发展。印度需要一种系统的方法来改善姑息治疗。这些改进包括增加工作人员、更好地实施政策、获得良好的政治支持，以及对医护人员和需要姑息治疗的患者进行教育。
