The IAPC’s May Infographic focuses on ‘Breaking Bad News in Palliative Care‘.

The IAPC in its constant endeavour to promote palliative care education and awareness across the country launched the “IAPC’s Infographic of the month” initiative in June 2023.

This initiative was conceived and is continuing to be supported by Dr Wasimul Hoda (Assistant Professor, Department of Anesthesia, RIMS, Ranchi).

These infographics will focus on a different topic each month and will look at both simple and complex topics in palliative care.
