BANGALORE HOSPICE TRUSTThe Bangalore Hospice Trust was set up in October 1994 by the Indian Cancer Society (ICS), Karnataka Branch and the Rotary Bangalore Indiranagar (RBI). ICS is a voluntary organization working with cancer patients since 1952. ICS Karnataka Branch was established as a non-profit organisation at Bangalore, India in 1988. Its main activities include education about the disease in order to remove the fear of cancer, as well as conducting of cancer detection camps mainly in the slums in Bangalore. RBI was set up in 1981, and now has around 100 members. RBI actively executes community service projects, conducts camps, runs counselling centres, and provides assistance to charitable and social institutions. Twinning ArrangementsKarunashraya is twinned with Severn (formerly Shropshire and Mid Wales) Hospice in Shrewsbury, UK, since April 1999. Over the last decade there has been a very robust collaboration between the two hospices. The Severn Hospice was instrumental in training two of our nurses just before we began taking patients. A team from Severn visits us every year to spend time with our staff and exchange best practices. Return visits from our staff have also taken place.
