SPHC organises community-based activities, to promote open discussion on subjects relating to death and loss, and to encourage a positive attitude towards facing death. The aim of life and death education is to promote a better understanding of life by accepting dying, death and bereavement as part of life. We advocate a positive attitude towards living a full life by organising different district-based activities, public awareness activities, forums and patient group programmes for the society.
