Dr. Rajendra A Badwe, chief executive of Tata Cancer Care Foundation, stressed the benefits of early palliative care, including reduced patient anxiety and improved quality of life. Dr. Chandra Kishore Shahi, director-in-chief of Health Services, Jharkhand, echoed the need for accessible palliative care facilities in the state, acknowledging the limited access to such services for the majority of the population.
