Bangalore Hospice Trust : Karunashraya, is a joint project of the Indian Cancer Society (Karnataka Chapter) and Rotary Bangalore Indiranagar, for providing free palliative care to advanced-stage cancer patients who are beyond cure.
We are thrilled to announce the official launch of the new Bagchi Karunashraya Palliative Care Centre hospice facility in Bhubaneswar city! Building on the success of our home care program, which has provided free palliative care to over 503 advanced stage cancer patients since 2021, we are now expanding our capacity to serve the community. We welcomed our first in-patient on April 10th, 2024, and admissions are ongoing. This beautiful facility, made possible by the generous donation of Mrs. Susmita Bagchi & Mr. Subroto Bagchi and the invaluable support of the Government of Odisha, offers completely free care. The entire campus will be ready by July 2024.
The BKPPC hospice provides comprehensive care, including a 110-bed in-patient hospice featuring six wards, a dedicated pediatric ward, separate dormitories for caregivers, and hostel facility for nursing staff. Additionally, the KIPCER block (Karunashraya Institute for Palliative Care, Education and Research) and a 500-seater auditorium will further our mission of providing exceptional evidence-based care and fostering education in the field of palliative care. We also offer an OPD facility for out-patient consultations.
If you’d like to join us in making a difference, donations are gratefully accepted through our donation page or by contacting communications@karunashraya.org

With a range of services including pain- symptom control, therapies, psychological and social support, rehabilitation, counselling, spiritual care, financial advice and support in bereavement. A hospice supports not only patients but also family members and caregivers to cope with the challenges of life-threatening illness.
“Karunashraya’s effort to alleviate the suffering of its patients is commendable. Since inception, the team has touched the lives of thousands of people, helping those who are most in need of care. I am deeply appreciative of the Trust’s efforts in providing dignity to life when there is little else left and I hope more people will step forward to lend their support.”
