Report: End of Life Care (EOLC)
End of Life Care: An Emerging Paradigm. Over the weekend of April 29-30, 2017, in Naya Medicity, Mathura, a group of people from various states met to discuss End of Life Care (EoLC) issues in India. Doctors were represented by intensivists, oncologists, general surgeons, family physicians, pulmonologists, nephrologists, neurologists, pallia ve care physicians; there was a lawyer who gave a talk on the legal aspects of end-of- life care, two experts who spoke on the spiritual aspects and a sprinkling of lay persons in the audience. At the end of the seminar, there was clarity on the differences and commonali es between EoLC and pallia ve care. (Euthanasia/mercy-killing is outside the purview of these topics). Being holis c and respec ul of the pa ent’s wishes and preferences in EoLC aims to help the pa ent to live as well as possible un l natural death occurs. The pa ent’s family, care-givers and significant others are included in the process. There is an urgent need of awareness amongst the public, for steps to be taken by the government and medical professionals, so that those suffering from terrible pain and discomfort due to chronic or untreatable illnesses, especially at the end of life, are spared some of the agony. The Indian Society of Cri cal Care Medicine, the Indian Academy of Neurology and the Indian Associa on of Pallia ve Care formed the End- of-Life Care India Taskforce (ELICIT) and at its first mee ng in Mumbai, in mid-August 2015, decided to move the central government to dra and enact an EoLC legisla on. Carrying that forward, at Naya Medicity, Mathura, moderated by Dr. Roop Gursahani, Member ELICIT and neurologist, Hinduja Hospital, Mumbai, the following talks were presented : • ‘Beyond Liberty: Autonomy, Privacy and the Indian Cons tu on’ by Ms Sarasu Thomas, Assoc. Prof. NLSIU, Bengaluru. • ‘An EoLC Law for a Changing India’, by Dipankar Gupta, Sociologist, former Prof, JNU. • ‘Public Health Care: Can It do EoLC’ by Ravi Duggal, Country Co-ordinator, Sr Program Officer, Interna onal Budget Partnership. • ‘The Costs of Dying in a Hospital’ by Raj K Mani, Chairman ELICIT, Pulmonologist and Intensivist, CEO, Naya Healthcare. • When Ethics and Economics Collide: Making Choices’ by Dr Sridevi Seetharam, Pathologist, Pallia ve Care Provider, Mysuru. • ‘Life, Death, Autonomy: the Karmic View’ by Dr Devdu Pa anaik, mythologist. • ‘A Ra onal Solu on for Spiritual Pain’ by Arul Dhas, Chaplain and Sr Lecturer, CMC, Vellore. • Offering siritual solace- the experience of Karunashraya by Dr. Nagesh Simha, Member ELICIT and Medical Director Karunashraya. • ‘Towards a Uniform Defini on of Death: Why It Ma ers’ by Dr Sunil Shroff, Prof of Urology, Chennai, founder- Mohan Founda on. • ‘Iden fying Fu lity and Transi ons in Care Across Speciali es: Possible Protocols’ by Dr Jeremy Johnson, Director, Research and Educa on, Karunashraya, Bengaluru. • ‘Ideas for India: Capacity Building in Pallia ve Care’ by Dr M R Rajagopal, Chairman, Pallium India. There were concerns that many doctors believe they must prolong life despite financial burdens and ‘worse than death’ treatments. Many a me doctors know of, but may offer no alterna ve to ar ficial ven la on and intensive care when a pa ent is breathless.

Compassionate communica on a n d a p p r o p r i a t e u s e o f morphine, for example, are not what they have studied or seen in medical or nursing schools. Corporate versus Government medical care raised other points of economic burdens due to illness. In addi on to doctors, nursing aides and social workers needed to be trained in pallia ve care to help care-givers. The outcome of the seminar led to the ‘Ci zens’ Ac on Needed for Dignity in Death’ (CANDID); that, with ELICIT, brought together for the first me, individuals from varied walks of life, who signed a ‘Mathura Declara on’ that aims to promote pallia ve and EoLC to the terminally ill and dying. The Mathura Declara on states that: 1. Quality of life is a right guaranteed under the Cons tu on to every ci zen of India and must be upheld, including at the end of life. 2. Pallia ve and EoLC are important means to ensure this. 3. In 2015, India was ranked 67 among 80 countries in the Quality of Death Index, based on a survey conducted by The Economist Intelligence Unit. We as a na on must examine the reasons why this is so and take swi remedial measures. 4. We recognize the efforts of the medical and ethics community in India to clarify the ethical obliga ons of doctors and to define evidence based prac ce points for EOLC. In this context, we welcome the government’s historic ini a ves last year seeking general opinion and feedback on a dra Bill termed “Medical treatment of terminally ill pa ents (protec on of pa ents’ and medical prac oners’ Bill)”. 5. We see this as an opportune me for a construc ve response by a broad range of stakeholders. We strongly urge all caregivers, professionals, ci zens and policy makers to par cipate in building consensus for a comprehensive and contemporary na onal framework for improving pallia ve and End of Life Care in India. There isn’t a family in this country not touched by the subject. There is no doubt whatsoever that this movement is likely to gallop in the months to come. Ms Sheela Jaywant, Dr Raj K. Mani, Dr Srinagesh Simha, Dr Roop Gursahani Report: Group Mee ng on Aphasia IAN has started an ingenious ini a ve to convene Expert Group Mee ngs on different themes [so far 1.Stem cells in Neurology and 2.
