HEALTH
CIPLA PALLIATIVE CARE AND TRAINING CENTRE (CPC), WARJE, PUNE
The flagship initiative of Cipla Foundation
It was to support patients and their families in
their most difficult of times, beyond medicines
and treatment, that Cipla founded the Palliative
Care & Training Centre in 1997 in Warje, Pune.
Since then, we have reached out to over 14,000
patients with free-of-cost care.
Beyond direct care at CPC, we have been growing our focus in palliative care by partnering with organisations across India.
TAKING PALLIATIVE CARE BEYOND MEDICINES
OUR APPROACH TO PALLIATIVE CARE
We believe that palliative care is ‘Responsive Care’.
It is care that is responsive to the needs of patients and
their families.
The goal of palliative care is to provide the best possible
quality of life, at every stage of
treatment, starting from diagnosis.

• Our 55-bedded Centre is designed to personalise care
and exude an atmosphere of peace and serenity.
• Our Centre is built on the concept of an 'Aangan‘ or an
open courtyard, to foster a sense of community.
• Our wards are named after flowers to bring cheer and
comfort in a medical care setting.
• There are no bed numbers, our patients are known by
their first names.
DESIGNED TO CARE
OUR UNIQUE FAMILY CARE APPROACH
Our service is deeply rooted in the Indian ethos
of family and community.
• A family member stays with the patient at our
Centre and is equally cared for by our team.
• We train family members to give them the
confidence and skills to look after their loved
ones, when they leave our Centre to go back
home.
• In addition, family members receive ongoing
emotional and psychosocial support including
much-needed bereavement counselling.
• Patients and their families are looked
after by a multi-disciplinary team that
includes a doctor, nurse, pain
specialist, nutritionist, physiotherapist
and medical social worker.
• In addition, they are cared for by our
extended support team as well as by a
thriving community of volunteers.
• The integrated team works closely to
influence both the experience of care as
well as to maximise the quality of lives
for patients and their families.
OUR HOLISTIC CARE APPROACH
CONTINUITY OF CARE IN THE COMFORT OF HOME
11
• We aim to give patients and their families the
confidence that their pain and symptoms can
be managed at home.
• Our home care team extends regular high
quality free-of-cost care to patients living
around our Centre.
• We offer them the flexibility and convenience
to receive the support at their preferred
location.
CELEBRATING LIFE
• While medical therapies remain critical,
we offer much-needed emotional comfort
for patients and their caregivers through
engaging activities like art, craft, music and
games.
• Our varied efforts aim to help them cope
with the all-consuming demands of a
serious illness.
• We celebrate special occasions so patients
and families enjoy these moments, with
the feeling of being at home.
TRAINING PALLIATIVE CARE PROFESSIONALS
Our unique model of family care, in-patient
facilities and multi-disciplinary team makes us the
preferred site for several state, national and
international level training programmes in
palliation for doctors, nurses, social workers and
volunteers.
PALLIATIVE CARE PARTNERSHIPS: GOING BEYOND THE CENTRE
We support patients and their loved ones by working with like-minded palliative care organizations across the country.
Our effort is to ensure that palliative care is made accessible to all those living with serious illnesses including cancer, respiratory ailments, cerebral palsy and more.
